Residence Halls
Indiana University Southeast broke ground on its residence halls on June 27, 2007. With the addition of residence halls, IU Southeast is the first full-service public institution in the south-central sector of the state. The five lodge-style residence halls are the first on-campus housing at IU Southeast. The lodges feature one, two, and four bedroom units with each bedroom opening to a central living room.
The buildings opened for the fall 2008 semester and now house more than 400 students. The $20.7 million project is a major economic force both locally and across the region. The total impact to the local economy is approximately $44 million and the regional economy gets a boost of nearly $4 million each year.
Due to the success of the first five lodges, the University broke ground for its sixth lodge on April 25, 2012. It is expected to be completed and open for students by fall 2013.
