The washrooms at the Art Preserve were designed by Michelle Grabner, Beth Lipman, and the team of Joy Feasley and Paul Swenbeck with Kohler Co. materials.

The first floor of the building is dedicated to the history of the preserve, its focus on Wisconsin artists, and the acquisition of Eugene Von Bruenchenhein's work.

The second floor upends the assumptions made about artist-built environments and shows works by artists from the mainstream art world and urban areas.

[10] Many artist-built environments in the collection were originally domestic spaces, as artists in this genre frequently blur the lines between studio, home, and gallery.

[11] The collection includes works by Eugene Von Bruenchenhein,[12] Emery Blagdon,[12] Loy Bowlin,[12] Lenore Tawney, Dr. Charles Smith, Mary Nohl, Vollis Simpson and Ray Yoshida.
