2| INTRODUCTION
1. Support Academic Excellence
Driven by the Chancellor, University leadership, and the Executive / Steering Committees, the Master Plan will be a tool for advancing IU’s overall academic and research mission.
Discussion during the planning phases centered not only on the quantitative need for space (particularly for research) and student life, but also on the qualitative need for flexibility and increased interaction among members of the campus community. The University expressed its desire to enhance experience for undergraduates, graduate, and professional

Master Plan Working Group
The Master Plan Working Group guided the iterative development of the Campus Master Plan. Members of the group included the University Architects Office as well as academic, auxiliary enterprise, and administrative
representatives. This committee provided valuable project support, facilitated consensus building, and furnished current data relevant to the planning effort during its development.
Master Plan Steering Committee Chaired by Chancellor Charles Bantz, the Master Plan Steering Committee was established to shape the evolution of the Campus Master Plan. Members of the committee represented the executive level administration and University Deans of IUPUI. This committee provided valuable input and greatly facilitated consensus building during the Plan’s development.
MASTER PLAN PROCESS
The Campus Master Plan is the University’s plan. While the consultant team has contributed their technical expertise, the University’s participants have passionately guided its development. The Campus Master Plan reflects the institution’s vision, priorities, culture, and future needs.
The Indiana University Board of Trustees commissioned SmithGroupJJR to develop a Campus Master Plan for IUPUI. Work began in February 2008 and a draft report was completed in spring of 2009. The planning process was divided into five major tasks:
Discovery, Analysis, Alternatives, Refinement, and Documentation.
The planning process included faculty, students, staff, administrators, trustees and community leaders. Input has been solicited at major decision points throughout the process, through regular committee meetings, workshops, focus group sessions, technical meetings, one-on-one
interviews, and digital information exchange. As a result, the Campus Master Plan offers a widely representative planning perspective.
Several important committees were tasked with directing, advising, and supporting the Campus Master Plan.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee oversaw the development of the Campus Master Plan.
The committee provided final direction to the planning team, as well as administrative guidance, coordination of internal and external input, and final planning recommendations.

Community Partners Committee The Community Partners Committee was established to guide the evolution of the Campus Master Plan in response to the University’s community and neighbors.
Members of this group represented an important mix of neighborhood entities, municipal and City representatives, and a broad range of civic and community organizations. This committee provided valuable input and greatly facilitated consensus building during the Campus Master Plan’s development.
Advisory Committee
The Advisory Committee provided counsel throughout the development of the Campus Master Plan. Members of this committee represented important university wide input from academic, administrative, staff, auxiliary enterprise, and student perspectives. This deliberate mixing of expertise provided critical user input during the plan’s development.
Campus Health Sciences District Committee The Health Sciences District Committee was comprised of individuals representing both clinical facilities and medical education programs on the IUPUI campus, including representatives from IU Health, IU School of Medicine, Wishard Memorial Hospital and the VA Hospital. The purpose of this committee was to discuss common planning concerns among the various healthcare constituents on the peninsula, and to provide information regarding future plans that would affect the Master Plan.
