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.

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.

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.
