Tech powers our world in both noticeable and unseen ways. It can be easy to overlook the role IT plays in traditionally non-tech sectors, like higher education.

Four Point Design took the led and teamed up with MSKTD to create an open, collaborative environment by lowering workstation panels, elevating the level of natural light and creating more access to meeting spaces and focus rooms. The design also showcases the Global Network Operations Center (GNOC) by using electrified, back-projection glass – a stunning feature that provides both security and branding opportunities for the school.
With four floors and more than 41,000 SF dedicated to technology, the space is designed to propel the downtown Indianapolis campus forward. And as the IUPUI story is written, I’m delighted at the opportunity to occupy a couple of sentences . . . or lines of code.
