THought you would enjoy seeing this slide show from Chronicle. Mentions the Hatcher (Al Hatcher) Building, and the old power plant, new art buildings and a building designed by Gehry. Most of this I haven't seen before, although we frequently did sketch sessions at the power plant. It was right across the street from my kindergarten classmate's (Audrey McQueen) parents' Dairy Queen.
I always thought it was funny that the McQueens owned the Dairy Queen. She was one envied little girl by all of us. xoxo - G

This is one of the saddest collections of photos I have ever seen. The Fine Arts complex at the University of Iowa was one of the best set of such facilities in the country. The Hancher Auditorium was the cultural center of that part of Iowa.
