Specifications include, but are not limited to: This project is necessary to address growing needs for science-related instructional and research facilities as Indiana University transforms from IUPUI to IU Indianapolis and will serve as an anchor to the new Science and Technology Corridor. Student success will be enhanced by providing continued and new opportunities to gain research experience while studying in science-related programs. This project will leverage expanded research programs, new laboratory space and robust STEM degree options for IU students in order to attract faculty talent and grow enrollment in key disciplines, enhancing the vitality of the state with hundreds—and eventually thousands—of additional STEM grads to bolster the talent pool for Indiana employers. Ultimately, the larger strategic project will both renovate existing science teaching and research laboratories and construct additional new laboratories and related support space. These renovations and additional square footage are needed to address the university's growing needs for instructional and research facilities as Indiana University transforms from IUPUI to IU Indianapolis and creates a new Science and Technology Corridor. The SciTech Corridor will build upon the university’s academic and research strengths to increase collaborative, multidisciplinary instructional and research opportunities that will in turn attract faculty talent and grow enrollment.
