University dedicates $12 million gateway project
The University of Indianapolis dedicated its new gateway to campus in a Homecoming weekend ceremony on Oct. 1.
The $12 million expansion and renovation of Esch Hall, the university's main academic and administrative building, includes new state-of-the-art studios for radio station WICR-FM 88.7 and office space for the Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning.
CELL, whose efforts include assisting IPS in the restructuring of its high schools, had been housed in downtown Indianapolis offices but is now reunited with the School of Education. Lilly Endowment provided $3 million in construction funding for the CELL offices.
Esch Hall's 50,000-square-foot addition at Hanna and Otterbein avenues includes a two-story atrium entrance to the offices of Admissions, Financial Aid, the Registrar and the School for Adult Learning, creating a striking visual impression for prospective students and other visitors.
The atrium and its centerpiece, a glass sculpture of the university seal, were made possible by a $1.1 million gift from Zionsville residents Norman and Dottie Terry. An entrepreneur and former Fortune 500 executive, Norman Terry is a university alumnus, a member of its board of trustees, and chairman of the Campaign for UINDY.
President Beverley J. Pitts, Board of Trustees Chair Christel DeHaan, and representatives of the schools of Education and Communication cut the ribbon to the new facility. For more information about the University of Indianapolis, log on to www.uindy.edu.
