Opened in 1992, the Molecular Biology Building at Iowa State University is a truly unique structure. The one and one-half ton G-Nome figures atop each of the four corners of the building provide the first clues that this building is unique. Then, a closer inspection shows DNA helixes trailing down the building from each of the gnomes. The airy atrium provides a sense of openness inside the building, and helps to highlight the DNA molecule, in mosaic tile, that graces the floor of the atrium. In short, public art, a requirement for all newly constructed state buildings since 1978, is built into the actual structure of the Molecular Biology Building. This impressive four story structure give students and faculty state-of-the-art laboratory and classroom facilities in which to generate new knowledge in disease resistance, environmental protection, genetic alterations, and a host of other topics that will ultimately benefit virtually the entire planet. This model was done by Xin Li.

Complexity is based on the number of polygons in the model. More complex models render more slowly in Google Earth. Learn more about this on our knowledge base.
