Dynamic Campus & Community

We commit to build a dynamic campus and community that enriches our students’ experience and enhances our neighbors’ lives by propelling the economic and cultural vitality of central Indiana.

And because bold visions demand bold action, we further pledge that by the end of this decade, we will:

• Strengthen Butler’s national prominence in Arts and Athletics by advancing the development of the Midtown Arts District and achieving Top 25 success in Men’s and Women’s Basketball, elevating the University’s visibility and impact on a national stage.
• Transform the campus experience through gateway development projects that enhance gathering spaces, foster connectivity, and create a more vibrant and welcoming environment for students, alumni, and the community.
• Deepen Butler’s role as a trusted partner in Midtown Indianapolis by expanding collaboration with institutions, neighbors, and community-based organizations to drive shared growth and opportunity.
