News U of I to Restore Art Building Posted 08 November 2008 The University of Iowa says it will restore a flood-damaged art building despite the risk that the Iowa River could overflow its banks again. School officials say the need for space at the university outweighs the risk that the Art Building West will flood again before flood protections are able to be put in place. Record flooding this past June caused $12 million in damage to the $21.5 million building. The university's flood mitigation task force recommended the building be restored because the art and art history programs need the space. University President Sally Mason has approved the estimated $5 million project. The building is scheduled to reopen by December 2009. or at www.terracehill.org or by calling (515) 242-6317.
