The Steinberg Gallery is the realization of a design-build project completed by graduate Architecture students. Its central location on the Plaza level of Steinberg Hall ensures student exhibitions will be viewed by a broad audience.
The donor for Steinberg Hall was Etta Eiseman Steinberg, who gave the building in memory of her husband, Mark C. Steinberg, who died in 1951. Mr. Steinberg, a native of St. Louis, founded Mark C. Steinberg & Company, which became the largest firm of its kind in St. Louis. He was also the second largest-shareholder of United Railways Company, which eventually evolved into Bi-State Transit Agency (now Metro). Mr. Steinberg and his wife are known for their philanthropic efforts on campus and throughout the community.
