6. Modernize and Improve Athletic Facilities
Modernizing and improving athletic facilities is a strategic investment in visibility, recruitment, and campus pride at the University of Indianapolis. With a highly competitive athletics program, UIndy must continue upgrading facilities to keep pace with peer institutions and meet the expectations of today’s student-athletes. High-quality venues not only support performance and wellness, but also serve as a powerful “front porch” to the University, welcoming prospective students, families, and the community. This priority strengthens enrollment, enhances the University’s brand, and deepens the sense of belonging that athletics fosters across campus. 7. Create Accessible Student Support Spaces Creating accessible student support spaces is essential to ensuring every student can thrive at the University of Indianapolis. Enhancements to Krannert Memorial Library, such as commuter lockers, additional study rooms, and a new tutoring center, will make critical resources more visible, convenient, and effective. By bringing student support services together in a welcoming, easy-to-navigate environment, UIndy can better serve both residential and commuter students. This priority reinforces the University’s commitment to holistic student success, providing the tools and spaces students need to persist, achieve, and feel supported throughout their academic journey. While this master plan provides a clear and ambitious vision, it remains a draft that will continue to evolve as priorities are refined and resources are aligned. Implementation will take a phased approach over the next five to ten years, with meaningful progress beginning in the near term. At the University of Indianapolis, we are energized by the possibilities ahead and hopeful that our community shares in that excitement. As UIndy approaches its 125th anniversary, this plan positions the University to remain adaptable, relevant, and impactful—preparing students not just for careers, but for a lifetime of purpose and contribution.
