ISU Dedicates King Pavilion and First Campus Green Roof




The new King Pavilion at Iowa State University is an environmentally sustainable addition to the College of Design. Its green roof is a first for the campus.

The King Pavilion was dedicated Monday, Aug. 24, as Iowa State University design students began classes literally under the first green roof on campus.

The new facility is named for Steve King, FASLA and his late wife, Barb, both graduates of Iowa State in 1968 and founders of Landscape Structures Inc., a Delano, Minn.-based commercial playground equipment manufacturer.
