History

The Eppley Fine Arts Building was built in 1966 by Chris Hansen Construction from designs by a local architectural firm called W.L. Beuttler and Son. Featuring a steel frame, brick, block, glazed tile, and stone masonry, cement and acoustical plaster and ceramic mosaic tile, the building was constructed for long term usage. A ceramic mosaic is situated at the main entrance.[4]

gollark: Oh right, I think what I was thinking of is that you get a "not found" error when running an executable file which isn't dynamically linking right.
gollark: Too bad.
gollark: Or it might just have been a quirk with dynamic linking.
gollark: There was some other cause which could happen and give the same error code, which I unfortunately forgot.
