A panel discussion on the design of the Windgate Center at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock is planned for Tuesday.
Architects and academics will talk about the design of the center, which resulted from a $20.3 million gift from the Windgate Charitable Foundation. The building is divided into two distinct architectural forms.
Officials are pursuing the gold level of LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, certification.
A panel is planned for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the center’s lecture hall. A reception will start at 5:30 p.m.
