The Ball Residence Hall, originally known as the Ball Nurses' Residence and Ball Nurses' home, is located at 1226 W Michigan St, Indianapolis, IN 46202 in the US State of Indiana, and was constructed in 1928. The Ball Residence Hall, colloquially referred to as Ball Hall, is a four-story Georgian Revival style building constructed out of Indiana limestone and red brick. The building served as an extension of the Indiana University School of Medicine for the training of student nurses but has transitioned to a first-year student residence hall for all of IUPUI. Ball Residence Hall is located on the west site of the Indiana University Indianapolis campus adjacent to the Ball Nurses' Sunken Gardens and across from the Rotary Building.
Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hall is home to the Indiana University Herron School of Art and is located on the south side of the Indiana University Indianapolis campus. To its north lies the Wood Plaza and University Library, to the east is Military Park, and to its West is the Indiana University Natatorium. The academic building contains three public art galleries for Indianapolis artists and students to display various pieces and exhibits, and a large art library containing a huge collection of literature on art, architecture, design, and creative technologies.
Joseph T. Taylor Hall was first constructed as part of the first academic buildings following the formation of IUPUI in 1969. Indiana University expanded its urban education offerings beyond the medical campus with the establishment of the University Quarter, which was the original site of non-medical education programs on the downtown campus. Taylor Hall was constructed as the first university library but would transition roles multiple times throughout its lifetime. Beginning in 1998, Taylor Hall has served as the center for undergraduate education assistance and advisement on campus.
The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute is located at the corner of West Drive and Michigan Avenue on the IUPUI campus. The facility provides research opportunities for Ophthalmology and clinical services for patients at nearby healthcare facilities including Riley Childrens Hospital and University Hospital.
The Lawrence W. Inlow Hall is home to the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law and forms part of the gateway to the Indianapolis campus on the east side. Inlow Hall matches the aesthetic glass and limestone architecture of the Information & Communications Technology Complex to form a distinct entrance. The law school building is located across from Military Park and east of the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hall.
Emerson Hall was the first building constructed on the IU Medical Center campus as part of the Indiana University School of Medicine. The construction of the building marked the beginning of the presence of IU in Indianapolis and the growth of Indiana medical education. The building is located in between the University Hospital Cancer Pavilion to its south and the Van Nuys Medical Science Building to its north, and across from Willis D. Gatch Hall to its west.
Fesler Hall is located on the western end of Indiana University Indianapolis campus as part of the IU Medical Center. The building was the former site of the Indiana State Board of Health headquarters until being occupied by Indiana University in 1949. During the board of health's occupation, the building served as a hub for public health outreach and education programs in cooperation with the Indiana University School of Medicine. Indiana University used the building as a new center for clinical programs located on the campus to compensate the growing medical student population. Fesler Hall is located in a cluster of medical facilities that include the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute, William H. Coleman Hall, Robert W. Long Hall, Willis D. Gatch Hall, and the School of Nursing Building.
Robert W. Long Hall is located on the IU Medical Center as part of the Indiana University Indianapolis campus. The building houses various departments from the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSOM). The Robert W. Long Hospital was the first hospital constructed on the university campus that served as a training institution for medical students in Indianapolis. Long Hall served as one of the early focal points for the growth of the IUSOM with many buildings including the first medical school building, Emerson Hall. Other early buildings included Willis D. Gatch Hall, William H. Coleman Hall, and Fesler Hall. Newer buildings constructed in the cluster include the School of Nursing Building and the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute.
The Student Union Building served as the first hub for student-related activities on the IUPUI campus. The Union Building was originally equipped with a hotel for medical students on the IU Medical Center, but gradually evolved and, with the merging of Indiana University and Purdue University, became the first campus center for students located at the downtown campus. The building would change purposes multiple times by hosting various departments and administrative offices until the land swap between Wishard and IUPUI in 2008. The land swap led to the property transfer to the new Eskenazi Hospital, which would choose to demolish the building rather than save it. The original site of the building was located north of the Ball Residence Hall and western end of the Ball Convalescent Gardens. The Union Building made up the western campus of the IU Medical Center alongside the Rotary Building.
Robert E. Cavanaugh Hall was one of the first non-medical academic buildings constructed on the IUPUI campus alongside Joseph T. Taylor Hall, known as the Blake Street Library at that time, and the Lecture Hall. Cavanaugh Hall served as an early hub for academic, administrative, and student activities which would lead to a constantly reshuffling of space usage. Competition of space for classrooms, administrative activities, and student activities would underscore the history of Cavanaugh Hall. Cavanaugh Hall currently serves as the home for the IUPUI School of Liberal Arts and various related research units.
Willis D. Gatch Hall, shortened to Gatch Hall, was constructed as an addition for the former Robert W. Long Hospital. Gatch Hal served as additional space for outpatient services, clinical services, and imaging services. Following the construction of University Hospital and the reorganization of medical services on the IU Medical Center, Gatch Hall would transition to an academic center supporting the School of Allied Health, Division of Nuclear Medicine, and Department of Radiology. The building continues to serve as an academic center for various divisions and departments within the IU School of Medicine. Gatch Hall was one of the early buildings on the IU Medical Center alongside Fesler Hall, Emerson Hall, and Coleman Hall. The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute and the School of Nursing Building are more recent additions to the IU Medical Center cluster.
The Van Nuys Medical Science Building is located on the IUPUI Campus as part of the IU Medical Center. The building serves as an academic and research facility for the IU School of Medicine providing significant laboratory space for the campus. Originally, the building served to consolidate academic laboratory functions on the campus into a singular facility and provide space for the creation of a more robust medical library. Upon completion, the building provided new research space for Robert W. Long Hall, William H. Coleman Hall, Fesler Hall, Willis D. Gatch Hall, and Emerson Hall. The building is located just north of Emerson Hall and University Hospital, and adjacent to the Medical Research and Library Building.
The Institute of Psychiatric Research (IPR) was a four-story freestanding medical research building dedicated to studying neurological and psychiatric disorders. The building worked closely with other researchers and faculty at the IU Medical Center on the IUPUI campus and the Larue D. Carter Psychiatric Hospital. IPR is now located at the Indiana University Neuroscience Research Building alongside the Starke Neurosciences Research Institute on the Academic Health Campus next to IU Health Methodist Hospital.
