Acknowledgements 		 Indiana residents are well aware that Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), home to over 14,000 students, is the largest of the fourteen universities that comprise the State System of Higher Education. Already a large and prestigious institution, IUP continues to grow. In 1995, 137 acres of undeveloped land, the former Campell and County farms, were purchased to accommodate future university growth. 

This land has been designated for development as the South Campus Extension. By the year 2001, IUP's landscape will be changed greatly. A project, now under construction, will establish the roads and utility infrastructure as well as varsity baseball fields, soccer practicing fields, and softball fields. A truck driving range will also be housed on the South Campus Extension along with the Continuing Education building. 

Athletes shouldn't be alone in their enthusiasm for the South Campus Extension. Plans for the Extension also call for the construction of new student residence areas. In addition to a new Greek village that will accommodate IUP's  fraternities and sororities, housing is also planned for students with families. The President's House will also be constructed during the development of the South Campus Extension. 

This project has sparked a great deal of interest and enthusiasm at IUP, but one question about the extension is heard over and over again--just what is the IUP of the year 2001 going to look like?  At this point, technology can offer a vision of the future.  Using viritual reality modeling language (VRML), the  South Campus Extension has been three-dimensionally modeled to provide an accurate and interactive view of just what future visitors and students at IUP can expect to find. 

Through the use of a VRML browser, you are invited to take a walk through the South Campus Extension.  The president's house, athletic fields, the Greek Village and more await you.  Interested?  Click on the image below to start your tour.
