Building plans on table
Another table with building plans to guide work on the ground floor. In addition to several classrooms, two Instructional Technology Centers (computer labs) are  now located on the ground floor for student use. 
Students on steps
Although Schaeffer was closed, the east steps were still a good place to take in the sun on a warm spring day. 
Inside south entrance
The view of the completed project from the south entrance.  Compare this photo with one in the Archive section.  The Color section also contains a photo of this area. 
First floor hallway
A view down the completed first floor hallway showing the restored columns.  The old entrance shown in the Archive photos would have been between the two columns on the right.  Well before the renovation the central entryway was replaced with a set of double doors on either side of where the restored columns are located. 
Seal and first floor hallway
A view of the first floor hallway showing the Liberal Arts seal located between the four restored columns. 
Liberal Arts seal
A close-up view of the Liberal Arts seal commemorating the initial construction and renovation of Schaeffer Hall. 
North stairwell
A view of the north stairwell showing the repaired skylight.  Notice that the column in the right of the photo has not been "marble-ized" as yet.  More photos and details about the work on the columns can be found in the Color Photo section. 
Working on columns
Iowa City artist Roberta Williams working on the third floor column above the south stairwell.  She is one of only a few artists in the country that applies this process to columns. 
Students in front of Schaeffer
Back to normal. Though work was not yet complete, the first classes were held in the renovated building in June of 1997 and the first departments returned to Schaeffer in July.
