University Hall is located at the corner of New York Street and University Boulevard and is home to the IUPUI Administration, IU Foundation, Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, and the IU School of Social Work. The building is located south of the Indiana University Indianapolis Lecture Hall and to the west of the Education and Social Work Building.

History

University Hall was constructed in 2015 and designed by Ratio Architects. The construction cost a total of $23 million budget, which featured classroom and office space for the School of Philanthropy, School of Social Work, and the IU Foundation.[1] The groundbreaking ceremony took place in February 2014. The construction of the new University Hall would replace the old Administration Building, and, subsequently, its demolition.[2]

In 2023, University Hall created a new mental wellness resource room on the second floor as a place where faculty and students can go to relax and decompress. The room included snacks, cushioned furniture, yoga mats, fidget toys, and educational materials about dealing with stress. The room was created by the IU School of Social Worker, the IU School of Social Work Alumni Association, and the Indianapolis Zen Center.[3]

Documentation

In 2023, students engaged in the New Humanities Lab at the Arts and Humanities Institute of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) undertook a project researching and documenting IUPUI's architecture. This effort was inspired by a 2009 project by Museum Studies students at IUPUI.
