The Restructuring of the IUPUI Campus
The future impacts for two universities and the City of Indianapolis
Join ICR as together we will explore the impacts of the restructuring of the former IUPUI Campus as it is divided into two distinct urban campuses. Indiana University and Purdue University will each have their unique campus facilities, curriculum, and student engagement. The city will now have two major Big Ten universities in downtown Indianapolis, and economic growth will be bolstered. Representatives from Indiana University, Purdue University, the Indy Chamber, and more will share their perspectives. Together we will learn the future plans for each institution and how they will develop their respective campuses. We will also hear how the city will benefit from this arrangement and how economic development will actually be enhanced under the new structure. More details to come, but you won’t want to miss this informative and detailed discussion on the future of higher education in downtown Indianapolis!
