One of the two towers that distinguish the Industrial Education Building displays the intricate details of the circa 1900 structure. Initially used as a textile building, it is currently home to the Department of Instructional Systems and Workforce Development, as well as the National Research and Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. To see a brief timelapse of the IE Twin Towers posted on Facebook, click here.
