Property Features
It displays sculptural form, and an inward-focused, fortress-like appearance with a below-grade terrace that echoes a moat. The structure (concrete frame) and the functions (three-story undergraduate library and fourth floor research library) are clearly expressed on the exterior. The red brick exterior finish helps Steenbock relate to the surrounding College of Agriculture buildings, also faced with red brick. On the interior, the two-story atrium in the library opens up the space. In 1969, Steenbock Memorial Library won the AIA Wisconsin Honor Award. Steenbock Memorial Library retains a high degree of integrity.
