Talk about progress: Work is continuing on our new 12-story Elizabeth Catlett Residence Hall, on the east side of campus behind Burge Residence Hall and North Hall. When it opens in the fall of 2017, it will be the largest residence hall on campus, housing 1,047 students, a new dining hall, commanding views of the Iowa River and collaborative study spaces. It is named after renowned African American alumna #ElizabethCatlett, who graduated in 1940 as the first African American to receive an MFA degree from the UI. 🏢🎨💛⚫️💛 (📷: Justin Torner) #uiowa #Hawkeyes #universityofiowa
