About this book
Set in the rolling hills of southern Indiana, Indiana University Bloomington is widely acknowledged to be one of the most picturesque college campuses in the United States Indiana University: New Portraits of the Bloomington Campus offers Hoosiers the chance to discover or revisit the campus for themselves and appreciate stunning new buildings and improvements in landscaping and facilities.
During its two-hundred-year history, the Bloomington campus has grown out from its original core while maintaining its focus on its architectural atheistic. Indiana University Bloomington now occupies nearly 2,000 acres, and the beauty and harmony of its limestone buildings set against breathtaking natural scenery make the campus a treasure that all Hoosiers enjoy.
Indiana University: New Portraits of the Bloomington Campus offers Hoosiers the chance to travel back home, relive past friendships, scholarly achievements, Little Fives, and Hoosier victories, and wander again, if just for a moment, through Dunn's Woods, the Cox Arboretum, and the iconic Sample Gates.

Franklin Hall. Built in 1907 as the campus library, Franklin Hall was renamed and repurposed to become the Student Services Building after the new main library was built in 1969. Starting in 2014, Franklin Hall was renovated and modernized to house a new Media School, established by the IU Board of Trustees in 2013. The Media School, which combines the departments of telecommunications, journalism, and communication and culture, opened its doors to students at Franklin Hall in 2016.
Ernie Pyle Sculpture at Franklin Hall. One of IU’s favorite alumni never graduated from Indiana University. Journalist and IU alumnus Ernie Pyle, class of 1923, left IU just short of graduation to take a newspaper job and pursue his reporting career. Pyle went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1944 for his war correspondence from the front lines during World War II and accept an honorary degree from IU. His columns about the day-to-day experiences of soldiers overseas captured the hearts of readers worldwide.

During her tenure as IU’s first lady from 1893–1902, IU alumna Frances Morgan Swain campaigned to attract women students and create a women’s building on campus. Swain organized an IU Women’s League and raised $6,500 for the project. The coeducational Student Building built in part with those funds was renamed the Frances Morgan Swain Student Building in 2016.
