During the Great Iowa Flood of 2008, a number of university buildings suffered severe flooding.  Among the worst damaged was the Iowa Memorial Union.  The entire lower floor was lost as well as damage to other parts of the building. 

Now that the IMU is in the process of reopening, I thought I should get around to posting these pictures I’ve had laying around.  In early September, I got a chance to tour the lower floor of the IMU with some administrators and members of the Board of Regents.  Here are a couple of the photos I took.  As far as I know, the lower floor is still nowhere near being ready for normal use again.
