Informatics and Communications Technology Complex

This 207,000 gsf new building for Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) is located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. It contains IUPUI’s Information Technology offices and programs, including a global operations center for Internet2, the Indiana Pervasive Computing Research Center and other academic, laboratory, and administrative functions related to information technology and telecommunications. It also contains classrooms and offices for the School of Music, School of Library and Information Sciences, and the new School of Informatics. The location of these schools within the technology complex reflects the University’s commitment to technology and its belief in technology’s convergence with other academic disciplines.

Together with the new law school building, the five-story limestone and glass building forms a highly-visible gateway to the IUPUI campus from the downtown office and state capital districts. These two buildings are also the first steps in the creation of a new academic quadrangle, which extends the University's Edward Larrabee Barnes master plan (1976) to the east. The building reinterprets the original campus buildings of the 1960s and 1970s with a more humane scale, and establishes a formal language which can be used for future campus development.

RAMSA Partners Robert A.M. Stern, Graham S. Wyatt, and Kevin Smith led the design.
