History

University Hall was constructed in 2015 at the cost of $23 million and designed by Ratio Architects. The building holds 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]

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.
