IU Bloomington

Table of contents, indiana university self-guided walking tour.

Welcome to the Office of Admissions Prospective Student Campus Tour!  

Ernie Pyle Hall is home to the IU Admissions Welcome Center. It was named after Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and World War II correspondent, Ernie Pyle, and was the former home of both the School of Journalism and Indiana Daily Student Newspaper.

At the IU Admissions Welcome Center, we are happy to answer any of your admission questions. Learn more and contact us at IU Admissions Homepage .  

Indiana Memorial Union (IMU)

The Indiana Memorial Union, or IMU, is the student union on campus. The building was constructed in the early 1930s and, with over 500,000 square feet , it’s one of the largest student unions in the world.

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 IU Campus Bus Service has multiple routes that stop at the IMU . F or students needing to travel to the Indianapolis International Airport, GO Express Travel’s shuttle service offers daily pick-ups at the IMU, as well as McNutt and Wilkie residence halls.  

Bill Garrett Fieldhouse

The building is named after the late Bill Garrett, the 1947 Indiana Mr. Basketball winner who played basketball at Indiana from 1947–1951. Garrett was the first black basketball player to play regularly in the Big Ten Conference. He went on to be the third black player drafted into the NBA. 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. Additional programs available to students include intramural sports, club sports, and personal training.  

Eskenazi Museum of Art

The Eskenazi Museum of Art is free to all. The building, designed by famed architect I. M. Pei, is open seven days a week; the galleries are closed on Mondays. The Eskenazi features severa l galleries and art-viewing rooms, including spaces that feature rotating exhibits. There is also a gift shop, terrace, and café with spaces to convene and study.  

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.  

Explore the museum virtually with Collections Online .  

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.  

10th Street

Located on the north side of the Arboretum is Tenth Street. Tenth Street is home to many of our academic buildings including (from west to east):  

•    Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, including Luddy Hall and Myles Brand Hall  

•    Geological Studies Building, home to the Indiana State Geological Survey

“Mamma Mia!”: Yes, the ABBA musical just marked 25 years since its debut, but biggest the reason to go now is Christine Sherrill’s sublime performance as Donna: “When she sings ‘the gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice,’ there’s a darn thunderclap inside the theater,” writes the Tribune’s Chris Jones. Through May 19, Nederlander Theatre, 24 W. Randolph St.; t ickets $52.50-$137.50 at www.broadwayinchicago.com

State St.; tickets $25-$50 at craigdavid.com

“Judgment Day”: You’ve seen Jason Alexander’s face plastered on buses all over town for weeks, and now word is in: “Judgment Day” is worth the trip to Navy Pier. In his Tribune review , critic Chris Jones called the show, which stars Alexander as a morally corrupt lawyer, a “gutsy and wickedly funny new satire. … Anyone with functioning arteries will laugh their socks off at some of the old-school gags.” Through May 26 in The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Navy Pier, 800 E. Grand Ave.; tickets $57-$135 at www.chicagoshakes.com
