Design a new headquarters for this soybean promotion, advocacy, research, education, and outreach organization. Create a design that represents the Iowa farmers who comprise the Board of Directors and the mission of the Iowa Soybean Association.

The exterior features red brick and limestone to recall the red barns of Iowa and the limestone foundations one often sees.  The grain-bin like entrance clearly identifies the building's agricultural mission. 

The interior of the grain bin also acts as the building's main rotunda, providing large, naturally-lit space for staff and visitors.  New offices, lab and work spaace, training rooms, and a board room are included.  Soy-based materials such as insulation, carpet backing, and adhesives were used in construction.

• Geothermal heating and cooling system
  
• Natural daylight into all spaces of the building, with high-efficiency glazing to manage solor heat gain
  
• White roof material reduces heat absorption on the roof, reducing "heat island" effects
  
• All storm water runoff from the parking areas and the building is managed through bio-retention cells and water quality volume basins, which slows, cools, and filters storm water before it enters the municipal storm water system
