Within the past couple months, I presented the Game Day Revisited series, a collection of blog posts from my original Game Day series in the second decade of the new millennium that combined action photos from football games at small Indiana colleges and universities along with landscape photos taken at the respective institutions of higher learning.
On several occasions in the series, I alluded to regrets about not being able to do justice to capturing the school landscapes as well as I felt I should have. There were three schools in particular that I felt I shortchanged, the University of Indianapolis, Marian University and DePauw University.
Well, on a recent 12-day trip to Indiana, I found time to address my photographic shortcomings at two of those schools, UIndy and Marian. And today, I present images from the first of those trips, to UIndy on the Southside of Indianapolis. Tomorrow, I'll present images from my recent visit to Marian.
Included in my new UIndy photos are two of the school's newest facilities, the one-level R.B. Annis School of Engineering, 3750 Shelby Street, and the four-level Health and Wellness Center at 1643 Hanna Avenue.
The Wellness Center -- featured in the lead-off photo above -- combines the student and employee services previously available at the Student Health Center and Koval Center. The center saw its first 30 patients in October 2015, Kory Vitangeli, dean of students and vice president for student and campus affairs, said in an article on the UIndy website.
More views of the front and sides of the Wellness Center are shown above and in the first three photos below. A view of the building's backside (fourth photo below) faces Windermire Street.
The facility included two clinical spaces in the new Health Pavilion, where the university partners with Community Health Network to provide therapy and rehabilitation care for patients and clients while creating experiential learning opportunities for students.
Also housed in the Health Pavilion is the School of Psychological Sciences' Psychological Services Center, where faculty and advanced graduate students provide comprehensive evaluation and outpatient therapy services to individuals, families and organizations.
Since its founding, the Annis School of Engineering, which opened in March 2021, has set a regional standard as an innovative engineering school that offers seven specialized areas of engineering study -- computer, electrical, software, mechanical, industrial, systems and general -- as well as computer science.
The R.B. Annis Hall expansion is the culmination of UIndy's $25 million investment in its engineering programs. Three additional photos of the facility appear below.
In addition to the above facilities, I came across several other structures I either did not get to or had not been built at the time of my first visit to campus in 2012. These included residence halls and apartment housing complexes.
The newest of these is Greyhound Village, across Shelby Street from the School of Engineering. Greyhound Village, nicely landscape with a retaining pond, are featured in the first seven photos below.

Cory Bretz (first two photos above) and Crowe (below) residence halls on Campus Drive have similar upper entrance tops, but Cory Bretz's entrance juts out while Crowe's is flush with the room wing extensions. Meanwhile, Central Hall (second photo below) stands between Cory Bretz and Crowe, featuring the same orange brick facade but a different entrance design.
East of the brick residence halls on Campus Drive are the four-story University Lofts (above and below).
The Hanna Avenue fronts of Roberts (above), Warren (first photo below) and Cravens residence halls. Above: The Hanna Avenue access to Good Hall, the 1904 Classical Revival building that houses university administration.
