Ivy Tech Community College Madison Campus Expansion and Renovation
The statewide, open-access Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana has grown into the state’s second-largest post-secondary institution in Indiana. Ivy Tech’s Madison campus provides academic programs to an increasing number of students and has become an integral force in the economic development of the region. To meet growing enrollment, Ivy Tech leaders asked Grace Design Studios, in association with The Estopinal Group, to program and design a major expansion and renovation of the campus.
Project Size: 104,500 SF
Location: Madison, IN
A two-story addition consisting of two linear academic wings was added to the existing one-story Academic Building. At the center is a new student commons dominated by a sky lit rotunda with an adjacent student lounge. New components include a library, classrooms, 170-seat lecture hall and computer labs.
The expansion and renovation was programmed for new academic courses including Paramedic Services, Nursing, Medical Assistant, Marketing, Visual Communications, Wide Area Networking, Design Technology, Banking and Finance, Building Preservation and Restoration, and Supervision of Healthcare Facilities.
New services include the Wellness Center, the Campus Life Center, Student Affairs, bookstore and offices. A high-tech video conference suite supports distance learning and advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment are throughout the facility.
The existing building’s exterior was renovated to match the new campus character, unifying the facility. Roadways, parking and walkways were reconfigured and constructed to allow easy access on to the campus by vehicle, foot or wheel.
