IU Indianapolis is engineering a new building that will improve its research opportunities and infrastructure. Construction on its interdisciplinary STEM Lab Building project has broken ground at a site on North Blackford and West New York streets.
The 52,000-sqft development will be an addition to the existing Science and Engineering lab building. Once the $60 million project is completed, the “STEM Lab Building” will include both the existing and new spaces. The project will add modern research labs, a 3D bioprinter lab, and spaces for biomedical work.
The building will be a site for the Science and Technology Corridor that aims to expand STEM degree options and research offerings for IU students, in alignment with the university’s 2030 strategic plan.
The new facility is expected to be completed in 2026.
