The IMU has numerous resources for students, including a bowling alley, a billiards room, the Biddle Hotel, the IU Bookstore, and the Whittenberger Auditorium. The Union Board—the largest student programming organization on campus—screens popular films throughout the year in the Whittenberger Auditorium, free to IU students.  The IMU also features many dining options and lounge areas for students to enjoy right in the heart of campus. One of the main features of the IMU is the Student Activities Tower, which houses offices for some of our 750+ student organizations. IU is home to numerous academic, philanthropic, religious, social, and professional student organizations. See all of IU Bloomington’s s tudent o rganizations at beinvolved.indiana.edu .

The building was home to Indiana basketball from 1928–1960. The School of Public Health is housed on the north end of the building.  

The Bill Garrett Fieldhouse is one of two Recreational Sports facilities on campus. The other is the Student Recreational Sports Center (SRSC) located northeast of the library.    

Recreational sports facilities give students the opportunity to stay healthy, manage stress, and meet new people. As part of their student activity fee, students have access to both recreational centers, strength and cardio equipment, group training sessions, two swimming pools, basketball and volleyball courts, and more.

The Eskenazi Museum houses more than 45,000 works of art representing nearly every art-producing culture throughout history from around the world. The collection includes works by Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet, African art, ancient jewelry, and contemporary art.  

The museum is home to a popular IU tradition. Students will lay on the ground outside the museum, put their feet on the wall, and watch as the Light Totem changes the color of the façade.

The Arboretum was once home to the football stadium and bike track. The old Memorial Stadium used to host the Little 500 bike race and was used in the filming of the 1979 Academy Award-winning film, Breaking Away .  

When the stadium was demolished in 1982, the university created a green space for students to enjoy. The arboretum offers a beautiful view from the heart of IU’s campus. One of the main highlights of the Arboretum is the Arthur R. Metz Bicentennial Grand Carillon Bell Tower. The tower stands more than 127 feet tall and features 65 bells. It is one of less than 30 grand carillons in the world. It even contains a micro classroom where students can learn to play the carillon.

With her husband, Ostrom co-founded what is now known as the Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis , a multidisciplinary research hub focused on how local, national , and global governance processes can be designed to enhance human well-being, while also promoting democratic principles and sustainable resource management.  

Y ou’ll also find a highly frequented walking path for students going across campus behind Woodburn . While there are numerous ways to get around campus, the most popular is walking—you can walk from corner to corner in about 25 minutes. Students can also ride bikes around campus.  

Students have access to two different bus systems—the Campus Bus Service, which runs from academic buildings to residence halls and libraries, and Bloomington Transit buses, which travel across town including to the mall, grocery store, and off-campus apartments.

Ballantine Hall

Beck chapel.

Completed in 1956, Beck Chapel is a non-denominational chapel not associated with any specific religion. Beck Chapel is constructed with Indiana limestone and wood from the forests of southern Indiana.  

Located steps from the Indiana Memorial Union, Beck Chapel is a very popular place for weddings and is open to the public for prayer and meditation every day unless reserved for a private event.  

Beck Chapel is adjacent to Dunn Cemetery, a small family cemetery established by George G. Dunn in 1855, deeded in perpetuity to Dunn family descendants , and remaining separate from IU when Moses F. Dunn sold family farmland to Indiana University in 1883. Dunn Cemetery remains an active burial ground — where only the descendants of the Dunn family can be buried.  

Chemistry Building

Herman b wells statue, rose well house.

Built in 1908, the Rose Well House plays a part in the history and traditions o f campus. The structure’s stone portals are from the Old College Building, which was built in 1855 on IU’s original campus in downtown Bloomington, what is now Seminary Square.  

The Rose Well House has become a popular spot for marriage proposals and weddings. Legend says that if you kiss your partner in the Rose Well House at the stroke of midnight, you will be together forever.

The museum draws upon the strengths, rich collections, and connections to community of the former Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology and the Mathers Museum of World Cultures, whose collections include over 5 million artifacts that span across a broad range of human experiences, from global Indigenous Peoples to contemporary communities.

Faculty Members Making a Difference: Newsletter Standouts

Spotlight: Department Chair, Clinical Associate Professor of Biology Department

Student government would like to recognize the work that Dr. Olivey does for the students within the Biology department. Dr. Harold Olivey is a distinguished leader in academia, currently serving as the Department Chair of the Biology Department. With a rich background in research and education, Dr. Olivey brings a wealth of experience and dedication to his role. His commitment to excellence in both teaching and administration has made him a respected figure within our department and beyond.

• Background and experience in the field of Biology: “I got my undergraduate degree from North Carolina State University, the final 4 in NCAA the first time since 1983! Then I went to Vanderbilt and got my PhD in pharmacology. I did research on indigenous signals such as growth and transcriptional factors and how it affected the development of the heart and blood vessels. Then continued that work as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Unviersity of Chicago prior to working here.”
• Extracurriculars or research that I am currently doing on campus: “I am working on a study in my Bio101 class in which I am studying team-based learning, a type of application of collaborative learning. This is not just working together but across teams as well.”
• Advice I would give to students pursuing a degree or career in Biology: “Go to class! Since the Pandemic we realize that there are many of things we do not have to in person for but learning is not one of them. Due to so much of our learning being experimentally and with mentorship.
• Perspectives and experiences that I would like to share about being within the biology department: “Maybe I am biased but I believe that I have the best students. I love all of my students biology majors or not but I just have a special warm feeling for my biology students because I see how hard they work and how many of them achieve such great success. Also, my colleagues have been working so cohesively which I believe leaves a good impact on the students.
