Investing in the future.

The Gateway Project unites us in a shared vision to shape a university and campus that enhances lives and strengthens our community in dynamic new ways.

Over the past decade, 91Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ has made significant investments in new and enhanced campus infrastructure projects including new residence halls and state-of-the-art academic facilities. These initiatives have greatly enhanced 91Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½â€™s academic excellence and student experience while making space for the growth of new programs that serve a broader set of learners and enrich the Midtown Indianapolis community.

The Gateway Project represents the next iteration of our long-term vision for 91Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½â€™s campus as a vibrant space where people can live, learn, work, and play. Driven by the 91Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Beyond strategic vision, these current and future projects have the potential to make a generational transformation of the 91Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ campus, neighborhood, and surrounding community by expanding access to arts, entertainment, athletic, and educational opportunities.
