When GastingerWalker&’s architect Dan Nenonen began evaluating the exterior conditions of Dyche Hall, it became apparent that years of weathering had taken its toll on the legendary grotesques that sit atop the north, east and south sides of the building. This was quickly confirmed once scaffolding was put in place around the building for the restoration of the existing stone and stucco façade. As passionate stewards of historic preservation, GastingerWalker& was thrilled to be a part of the process in planning the removal and documentation of the existing grotesques to be recreated. We look forward to seeing the newly carved sculptures installed next year to carry on their longstanding legacy of watching over the work inside the Museum.

Cottey College Ribbon Cutting
GastingerWalker& had a great weekend celebrating the completion of the Judy and Glenn Rogers Fine Arts Building at Cottey College. Cottey College, located in Nevada, Missouri is an independent, Liberal Arts and Sciences College for women. Great events throughout the weekend. @CotteyCollege
A new fine arts building expands the creative space for the dance, music and art departments at this all-women school in rural Missouri. The expansion honors the traditional framework of the campus with the integration of existing Neale Hall. An open courtyard in front pays tribute to it’s donors in a special recognition plaza.
The new art building and improved academic facilities complete part of the puzzle as the school transitions from a two- to a four-year institution.
The three story building will reduce energy costs for the school by incorporating solar power generation, energy-efficient design, and a large communicating atrium which will allow for an abundance of natural sunlight.
The enclosed bridge creates a convenient indoor link between the new art building and the administration building.
Cottey College, located in Nevada, Missouri is an independent, liberal arts and sciences college for women. It was founded by Virginia Alice Cottey Stockard in 1884, and is currently owned and supported by the P.E.O.
