Completed in 1969, Stephens Auditorium, was the first building constructed at the Iowa State Center. On Oct. 15, 2004, the Iowa chapter of the American Institute of Architects selected it as "Building of the Century." Stephens Auditorium was among 300 buildings nominated for the award. The field was narrowed to 125 buildings for consideration. A jury then chose five buildings from each decade, one award winner from each decade and, finally, the top award.
RSVPs to the event are requested by Monday, Sept. 17. Email mborton@iastate.edu or call 515-294-3348.
