Campus: IUPUI
In 2018, IUPUI constructed five new gates. According to IUPUI Chancellor Nasser Paydar, the gates are part of an initiative to create a more welcoming campus environment, as well as “serve to create a clear identity for the school and help shed the image of IUPUI as simply a ‘commuter college.’”
The largest of the five gates at 52 feet tall went up on the northwest corner of West Street and Michigan Street and is visible from the air. According to Chancellor Paydar, "Anyone on a plane approaching Indianapolis, we want them to see this is how proud they are with this campus.”
The other four gates were placed on the east side at West Street and New York Street, two on the west side along the White River Bridge at New York Street and Michigan Street, and one on the north side at University Boulevard and Indiana Avenue.
