Capital Improvements
Inspiring Achievement raised $7.6 million for 21st-century learning environments that prepare students for competitive careers in growing fields.
Among many updates to create flexible, technology-rich learning environments is the complete transformation of Crispin Hall, which will reopen in 2023. Crispin will be the new home of several STEM programs, including IC’s new engineering and neuroscience programs, the addition of which was made possible by the renovation.
Students don’t picture themselves being the best they can be in a space that’s outdated.
The Campaign raised $3.5 million for athletic facilities on campus, supporting more than 500 student-athletes and their fans each year.
Since updated athletic facilities opened, IC student-athletes have brought home 3 conference titles and 7 NCAA titles, and made 20 conference and national championship appearances.
Recruits and their families are always in awe of our facilities and comment about how they compare to facilities at much larger institutions. We have seen some of the greatest success in IC athletics history in just the last couple of years. Five teams competed in conference championships last year and our teams have brought home three conference titles in the last two years. The improvements we have been able to make to athletic facilities not only help with recruitment and the competitiveness of our teams, they set our student-athletes up for success. Installing new lights in England Stadium, for example, wasn’t just about improving the game-night experience. The opportunity to schedule home competitions and practices in the evening has reduced the number of afternoon classes that would otherwise have been missed.
