IU remains the nation’s largest medical school, even before expanding enrollment in 2007. However, it has not built a new educational space in six decades. The school's new home in Indianapolis will be equipped with the classrooms, labs, technology, and community education spaces necessary to help future physicians learn and thrive.
When completed, the new building will sit southeast of 16th and Senate Avenue, easily visible from Interstate 65. It will also cozy up to Goodman Hall and the Neuroscience Research Building to the north and IU Health’s new hospital nearby to the east.
At more than 326,000 square feet, the building gives ample room for research to ease patients’ suffering, improve their quality of life, and help them live longer. IU School of Medicine's federal research support has doubled in recent years—but not the school's space. An 8-story research tower will provide faculty with room for collaboration and breakthroughs.
