Clearly a site for sore eyes

The outside of the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute at the Indiana University School of Medicine draws upon the eye itself for its design.

The glass panels that cover the building on the south side range in color from gray to yellow, a nod to the yellow found in lenses for those with impaired vision.

On Thursday, Marilyn Glick toured the building that bears her name, checking on its progress.

When it is completed next spring, it will more than triple the space of IU's Ophthalmology Department, with clinical and laboratory areas. Half of the building will be devoted to research on diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

A $30 million gift from the Glicks three years
