The Posner Center receives a Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Certification in 2005. The structure, located next
to the College of Fine Arts houses the Posner Family collection of
rare books and jade and ivory carvings, and executive meeting rooms.
The new building, will be mostly underground with a rooftop sculpture
garden. The main entranceway, featuring one-story tall windows, will
face Margaret Morrison Carnegie Hall and the tennis courts.
The 11,400 square-foot building, designed by WTW Architects, is a
gift of Henry and Helen Posner. Henry Posner is an emeritus life
trustee of the university. The Posner collection includes one of only
four copies of the Bill of Rights printed by Thomas Jefferson in 1792
and Christopher Columbus' letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella
of Spain describing his first voyage to America.
