The South Campus Extension |
| Home to over 14,000 students, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
(IUP) 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
Campbell and County farms, was 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 greatly transformed. 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 to support its School of Continuing Education. Athletes and truck drivers, however, should not 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.
