The Indiana University Neuroscience Research Building is a medical research facility located on the Indiana University Health academic health campus in downtown Indianapolis and connected to the Goodman Hall Neuroscience Center. The building houses neuroscience research institutes from the Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health.

History

[edit]

The Neuroscience Research Building designed by BSA LifeStructures and construction began in August 2012, costing $52 million.[1] The new building was built on the academic health campus located near Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital and was developed jointly between the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) and Indiana University Health.[2] The building opened to the public in December 2014.[1]

The building provides laboratory research spaces and facilities to interdisciplinary research teams of the School of Medicine, the Stark Neurosciences Research Institute, and the Institute of Psychiatric Research.[1]

Architecture

[edit]

The exterior of the Neuroscience Research Building features an efficient design, composed of glass. The building's interior is flexible, adaptable to changes, and has abundant natural light.[3] The channel glass walls create a translucent tower at the main staircase. The building follows a theme consistent with the entire neuroscience campus.[1] The channel glass's 60% recycled content contributed greatly to the sustainability of the project and its LEED Gold certification achievement.[3]
