Indiana lawmakers OK $39 million for Muncie Ivy Tech Campus

The total cost of the project, about $43 million, will include $4 million in private funding to be raised in a capital campaign.

The state budget now goes to Gov. Eric Holcomb for approval. The Ivy Tech capital project aims to create an improved campus to better serve the educational and economic needs of the East Central Indiana region.

“We are thrilled about the positive impact this project will have for our students and the communities the Muncie Campus serves,” said Alex Huskey, interim chancellor of the Ivy Tech Community College East Central and Richmond Regions in a news release.

Huskey  said the project will include a 30,000-square-feet technology center and renovation to the existing 50,000-square-feet North Instructional Center at the Cowan Road Campus. It will also include renovation to the Muncie Campus Fisher Building’s first and fourth floors, utilizing approximately 34,000 square feet of space and 23,000 square feet of new construction in downtown Muncie.
