The campuses of Indiana University are currently involved in a comprehensive review of their respective missions. The Indiana Commission for Higher Education retains authority to review and approve such missions. The following paragraphs are drawn from the last approved mission statements.
The mission of Indiana University � South Bend is to offer high quality programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, animated by a core of humanities, arts and sciences. IUSB is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of teaching, scholarship, and research, by attracting and supporting and excellent faculty, by promoting a collegial environment, and by providing appropriate classroom, laboratory and library facilities.
Indiana University South Bend is the third largest campus of the Indiana University system. It is popularly known as IUSB or "IU South Bend." It is located in South Bend, Indiana, in Saint Joseph County, Indiana. IU South Bend is most famous for its world-renowned Alexander Toradze Piano Studio.
Indiana University began offering classes in South Bend in 1916 as an extension of the main campus of Indiana University Bloomington. In 1961 the first IUSB building was constructed on newly acquired land on the north shore of the St. Joseph River.
IU South Bend is centered on a large green pedestrian mall and located along the St. Joseph River. When the campus officially opened in the early 1960s, it featured two buildings: Northside Hall and Greenlawn Hall, a former tool and die factory. Growing steadily over the last 40 years, the campus now consists of 12 buildings, including the Franklin D. Schurz Library. The most recent addition is the 100,000 square foot (9,000 m²) Student Activity Center featuring basketball, volleyball, and racquetball courts, a walking track, a fitness and wellness center, a café, a student lounge, and student activity offices. The University also owns 26 acres on the south bank of the St. Joseph River.
A pedestrian bridge that bears the words "Indiana University South Bend" connects the main campus with the athletic fields across the river. Construction began in December 2005 and was completed in September 2006. On September 22, 2006, the Indiana University Board of Trustees voted to approve housing for IU South Bend. The housing will consist of apartment-style units across the river. Approximately 400 beds are planned for the first phase.
In August 2007 construction was completed on the 25,000 square-foot Indiana University South Bend Elkhart Center in downtown Elkhart, Indiana. The university also maintains a center at Plymouth, Indiana.
