A new hub for innovation
Set to complete in Fall 2026, the STEM Lab Building exemplifies the IU 2030 Strategic Plan in action and builds on our strengths as Indianapolis' premier R1 institution. Part of IU Launch Accelerator for Biosciences (IU LAB), a first-of-its-kind initiative, the facility is positioned at the center of IU's goal to drive innovation in the state. The building will house the Convergent Bioscience and Technology Institute (CBATI), the Institute for Human Health and Wellbeing, three dozen research lab spaces, and serve as the home for interdisciplinary STEM research on the IU Indianapolis campus.
