Iowa State Center officials will be reopening the first floor of the Scheman Building after completing necessary renovations. The renovations were made due to past flooding.

“This work was completed as a response to the flood mitigation,” said Iowa State Center Executive Director Mark North.

The renovations have necessitated the relocation of offices in Scheman  and created more space where the old offices were located.

“Our offices are now on the first floor,” North said. “Our old offices will be these large meeting and executive board spaces. One large meeting space that can accommodate around 130 people on the south side on the ground floor.”

When the renovations are finished, there will be more rooms for meetings big and small. 

“We’ve added one large meeting room on the south side of ground floor,” North said. “On the north side, we’ve added a new executive board room with an adjacent room space that can be used for small receptions. We’ve added about 4500 square feet of brand-new meeting space.”
