Top 15 Instagram-worthy Spots on Campus

Aspects of the institute’s residence life surround this popular landmark during each season of the school year. It’s where you can find students lounging on a raft, catching a fish, ice skating, or taking a relaxing break from their studies.

Members of the Class of 2013 left their mark and inspired others to follow in their footsteps with this attractive mural featuring our Rosie elephant mascot and logo – made from approximately 5,000 colorful ceramic pieces. The project was designed and organized by the late local artist Edie Richards.

Since its opening in 2001, this stunning structure overlooking Speed Lake has been a popular location for student meditation and religious services, special cultural events, and alumni weddings. You won’t be able to take just one photo of this site. Promise. The chapel was created from a gift by alumnus John White and his wife, Elizabeth.

Outdoor spaces for students to relax, study and collaborate are one of the many WELL Certification features of our 70,000-square-foot, $29 million New Academic Building. These areas enhance the health, wellness and the human experience for the institute’s students, faculty and staff.

Forty beautiful cherry trees in a grove adjacent to White Chapel celebrate the institute’s more than 40-year exchange partnership with Japan’s Kanazawa Institute of Technology. The cherry tree is an exalted flowering plant in Japan, and the cherry blossom is a potent symbol equated with the evanescence of life and epitomizes the transformation of Japanese culture throughout the ages.

More than 13,000 programmable LED lights speckled throughout the 30-foot tall “Depth of Field” artistic exhibit reflect the rhythm of life and the heartbeat of the students within the New Academic Building. The image is different every second of every day and never repeated.

The Hulman Living Room has taken on a life of its own, literally, through a Living Wall created from 1,458 potted tropical plants, arranged in a curvilinear design to represent movement. Nearby is a student lounge area, a coffee/smoothie bar, and a variety of healthy food choices – all creating a better quality of campus life and stronger relationships.

The institute’s landscape increased in the fall of 2017 with the acquisition of 1,100 acres from nearby Hulman family land on the 100th anniversary of the family’s donation of a farm tract for the college’s present location. The land is used by students, faculty and staff for recreational and academic activities – with more possibilities in the future.

This rolling grassy area is a busy place between class periods as students and faculty hurry to one of the surrounding academic buildings and Logan Library. It also can be site for an occasional Wiffle ball game or a relaxing place to study. It is named for Chapman Root, a Terre Haute entrepreneur who designed the iconic Coca-Cola bottle.

The campus’ original classroom building is still home to several academic departments, faculty offices, innovative classrooms, and state-of-the-art laboratories. It honors the legacy of Herman Moench, who spent 50 years on campus as a student, professor, administrator, and mentor to those privileged to have met him.

This scenic pathway ties together many aspects of the institute. It is a great place for a leisurely skateboard or bicycle ride, casual jog or just a nice walk to admire the great outdoors – and our beautiful campus.

There’s lots going on inside this building: a 602-seat theater for student performances and a popular Performing Arts Series; an alumni center filled with historical artifacts; studio rooms for music classes; and several campus offices. A generous gift by alumnus Mike Hatfield and his wife, Deborah, funded this wonderful campus addition.

This striking stainless steel sculpture helps greet visitors to campus along the main entranceway. It was originally designed by renowned artist Leonard Nierman for Chicago’s Millennium Park, but later was moved to our campus as the first sculpture in Terre Haute’s Art Spaces collection.

Let the sun shine in. That was the focus when the institute’s original classroom underwent a major renovation in the mid-1980s. A skylight was an added feature along the entire length of the top floor’s roof, and the sunlight has allowed small trees to add prosper throughout the years.

This building links Moench Hall and Olin Hall with office suites for the institute’s president, academic affairs leadership, admissions, financial aid, and the campus switchboard. There is also a display of beautiful pottery created by world famous artist Mary Alice Hadley.
