The MMB earned the 2019 Madison Trust for Historic Preservation Restoration Award and was honored as one of the Daily Reporter’s Top Projects of 2018.
The MMB is a designated local City of Madison Landmark and is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was originally built from 1927 to 1929.

It took four years to complete the restoration and renovation. The MMB also met Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) requirements and is targeted for a LEED Gold rating.
During the restoration, the following was completed:
- HVAC/electrical/plumbing systems replacement
- Full sprinkler system addition
