Did you know Wichita is home to two Frank Lloyd Wright buildings? Most people know about the Allen House, but the Corbin Education Center at Wichita State University is also one of his creations. Dedicated in 1964, it was named after former Wichita University President Harry F. Corbin Jr. The structure features Wright’s signature design elements, including bold geometry, a belvedere roof, and a striking terra cotta, turquoise, and black color scheme chosen by Mrs. Wright. You can still see many of the original furnishings inside today!
