Island Press
The state-of-the-art facility also serves as home to Island Press, which takes its name from a massively oversized etching press—60 inches wide by 120 inches long—that was built in the early 1990s by professor emeritus Peter Marcus, in collaboration with St. Louis machinist Warren Sauer.
