Lucius Pond Ordway Building, was originally designed as a cafeteria and dining hall, although never used for that purpose. Completed in 1952, the building housed the industrial arts center and later the fine arts with the theatre- in-the-round and a student lounge. The structure’s upper tier consists of a series of 30- 60-90 triangles lying on their hypotenuse. Natural lighting, courtyards and fountains are used throughout the complex. Often compared to Taliesin West, this building was supposedly one of Wright’s favorites because of the simplicity of the design.
