Efficient Learning Spaces

First impressions are important. Students need to know where to enter and where to go to get assistance. By designing a welcoming single main entrance with designed landmarks and co-locating central services in one area, students will be better positioned to start and continue their college journey.

Efficient Learning Spaces

Divesting from the Lawrence and NIC buildings allows us to reduce duplicative services and upgrade learning spaces for our students and staff. By renovating classrooms and improving our overall space utilization, we will be equipped to better serve our students, staff

and community.

While access to the construction area is prohibited, Pepper will be keeping the public engaged by posting a QR code link to project updates and other important information.

Will there still be classes at the campus during construction?

Yes. While classroom locations may change depending on the phase of the project, Pepper Construction will work closely with Ivy Tech to coordinate work in such a way that does not interrupt the academic calendar.

How will I navigate the building if areas are blocked off for construction?

Pepper Construction and Ivy Tech will work closely to provide signage and other means of communication for clear navigation through the building during construction.

Our team is paper and materials heavy, will there be enough storage space to accommodate?

The project team is working with Campus Leadership to define storage and space needs. Additionally, multiple purge dates will be planned prior to each move.

How much of the campus will be affected by the renovation?

Targeted renovations of approximately 200,000 - 250,000 assignable sq. ft. for partial building renovations of the IFC, NMC, GLICK, and LRC buildings on the downtown campus. This represents about 20% of over a million assignable square feet of remaining facilities across the downtown campus, Plainfield, and the Automotive Technology Center.
