Long Description:
Frank Gehry designed this building and it was constructed in 1993.
It could be said to be a prototype for his Guggenheim museum in
Bilbao, Spain constructed in 1997 and characteristic of his late
century signature style.
From the river front, the building is comprised of strange
geometric forms and covered in bright, stainless-steel. From the
University-facing side, it presents a more conservative brick
surface.
