1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.474
BALL STATE'S COLLEGE OF
ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING HAS
EXPANDED ITS PRESENCE IN
INDIANAPOLIS. THE NEW LOCATION

2
00:00:07.474 --> 00:00:14.180
IS INITIALLY SERVING ABOUT 30
STUDENTS IN TWO ACADEMIC
PROGRAMS: MASTER OF URBAN
DESIGN AND MASTER OF

3
00:00:14.180 --> 00:00:21.888
ARCHITECTURE.
IN OUR (I) ON EDUCATION, DEAN
DAVE FERGUSON IS HERE TO EXPLAIN
BALL STATE CAP: INDY'S UNIQUE

4
00:00:21.888 --> 00:00:31.431
FOCUS ON COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING,
DESIGN, AND THE BUILDING OF
CITIES, TOWNS, NEIGHBORHOODS.
WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM. BALL

5
00:00:31.431 --> 00:00:38.772
STATE'S THE COLLEGE OF
ARCHITECTURE'S PRESENCE IN
INDIANAPOLIS IS NOT NEW. YOU'VE
BEEN HERE SINCE EARLY 2000S.

6
00:00:38.772 --> 00:00:45.678
>> AND IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS,
MOST RECENTLY, WE WERE AT THE
PLATFORM NEXT TO THE CITY
MARKET, WHICH WE LOVED, BUT IT

7
00:00:45.678 --> 00:00:53.420
WAS -- WE NEEDED MORE SPACE. SO,
WE STARTED LOOKING AROUND, WE
NEEDED AT LEAST 5,000 SQUARE
FEET. AND IT JUST HAPPENED THAT

8
00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:58.725
THE FORMER CAMPUS WAS OPENING
UP, AND IS AN AMAZING FIT FOR
US.
>> WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT

9
00:00:58.725 --> 00:01:06.266
SPACE. FIRST OF ALL, THE WHOLE
IDEA OF COMING TO INDIANAPOLIS
WITH THE COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE
AND THE PROGRAM. WHAT WAS REALLY

10
00:01:06.266 --> 00:01:13.440
THE INITIALLY IDEA BEHIND IT?
>> FOR US, THERE IS NOTHING
BETTER THAN AN URBAN LABORATORY.
OUR STUDENTS WHO COME FROM MANY

11
00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:18.611
DIFFERENT FIELDS ACROSS
PLANNING, ARCHITECTURE,
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, INTERIOR
DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT,

12
00:01:18.611 --> 00:01:25.785
NEED A COMPREHENSIVE KIND OF
SETTING. WHEN YOU'RE IN A CITY,
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF RICHNESS
THAT YOU CAN DIG INTO. YOU'RE

13
00:01:25.785 --> 00:01:32.058
RIGHT THERE IN THE HEART OF
THINGS, OUR STUDENTS LOVE THAT.
THAT WAS ONE DRAW FOR US, THE
SECOND PIECE WAS WE WERE TOLD

14
00:01:32.058 --> 00:01:37.831
ALONG THE WAY THAT INDIANAPOLIS
REMARKABLY IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
CITIES IN THE NATION THAT DIDN'T
HAVE AN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL IN

15
00:01:37.831 --> 00:01:46.172
IT, OR A MAJOR URBAN DESIGN
CENTER. SO WE RAISED OUR HAND
AND SAID WE'RE ALL DO THAT
>> AND THAT LED TO THE EXPANDED

16
00:01:46.172 --> 00:01:54.347
SPACE AT THE ANGIE'S LIST
CAMPUS. TALK ABOUT THAT SPACE.
IT IS A PRETTY COOL SPACE. A LOT
OF SPACE BEGINNING TO GROW AND

17
00:01:54.347 --> 00:02:00.687
DEVELOP.
>> THAT WHOLE AREA HAS BEEN
PURCHASED AND THE LEAD ON THAT,
BILL HAS BEEN A GREAT HOST FOR

18
00:02:00.687 --> 00:02:07.927
US, HE UNDERSTANDS, I THINK,
DESIGN, HE WAS PART OF ANGIE'S
LIST, THE BUILDINGS ARE
REMARKABLY PRESERVED, SET UP

19
00:02:07.927 --> 00:02:15.368
WELL FOR THE TECH SECTOR. WE
STEPPED IN LITERALLY TURNKEY, IT
WAS A PERFECTLY ALIGNED SPACE
FOR OUR KINDS OF ACTIVITIES, WE

20
00:02:15.368 --> 00:02:21.441
HAVE OPEN STUDIOS, AND
EVERYTHING IS WORKING WELL. AND
THERE'S ROOM TO GROW. SO WE'RE
IN THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT WE ARE

21
00:02:21.441 --> 00:02:27.680
LOOKING AT WHAT THE FUTURE
BRINGS IN TERMS OF EXPANSION.
>> TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT
THIS PROGRAM HAS, AND THIS URBAN

22
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:35.321
DESIGN AND URBAN SETTING.
BECAUSE, REALLY, YOU COULD ARGUE
THAT IT BENEFITS THE STUDENTS
CERTAINLY, NEIGHBORHOODS, THE

23
00:02:35.321 --> 00:02:43.263
CITY, A LOT OF WINNERS IN THIS
PROGRAM. HOW DOES THAT PLAY OUT?
>> OUR STUDENTS LOVE TO WORK
WITH REAL LIFE PROBLEMS AND

24
00:02:43.263 --> 00:02:49.035
PROJECTS, WE WORK WITH
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONSES, WE
HAVE WORKED WITH THE CITY
BEFORE. AND THOSE KINDS OF

25
00:02:49.035 --> 00:02:55.041
PARTNERSHIPS ARE IRREPLACEABLE.
THAT IS WHAT THEY'LL BE SEEING
IN THE FIELD. THE OTHER SET OF
PARTIES THAT BENEFIT FROM THIS

26
00:02:55.041 --> 00:03:01.614
ARE THE PROFESSIONALS, THE
DESIGN PROFESSIONALS IN THIS
AREA WHO HAVE BEEN REALLY
SUPPORTIVE OF OUR PROGRAM. BUT

27
00:03:01.614 --> 00:03:08.755
WE PROVIDE THEM WITH
INTERNSHIPS, AND WE WORK WITH
THEM ON PROJECTS SIDE BY SIDE.
>> AND, I ASSUME FROM STUDENT

28
00:03:08.755 --> 00:03:13.760
RECRUITMENT STANDPOINT, THIS
WOULD BE A SELLING POINT, THE
COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND
PLANNING HAS A GREAT REPUTATION,

29
00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:21.034
VERY HIGHLY REGARDED, BUT THESE
KINDS OF PROGRAMS, I WOULD
ASSUME ARE ATTRACTIVE.
>> IT REALLY IS A MAJOR DRAW.

30
00:03:21.034 --> 00:03:28.007
THE STUDENTS COME INTO THAT
SPACE, THAT'S WHERE THEY WANT TO
BE, IT SELLS ITSELF.
>> ANY IDEA AS YOU LOOK TO THE

31
00:03:28.007 --> 00:03:35.315
FUTURE, YOU HAVE SPACE AND ROOM
TO EXPAND DO YOU ANTICIPATE THIS
PROGRAM AND REACH OF IMPACT HAS
ROOM TO GROW?

32
00:03:35.315 --> 00:03:39.852
>> WE WOULD LOVE TO GROW IT, WE
HAVE OTHER PROGRAMS IN OUR
COLLEGE IN LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECTURE AND OTHER SETTINGS

33
00:03:39.852 --> 00:03:47.660
THAT ARE LOOKING AT COMING DOWN
AS WELL. OUR CAMPUS IS REVIEWING
WHAT OUR PRSENCE MIGHT BE IN
INDIANAPOLIS, IN A BIGGER WAY

34
00:03:47.660 --> 00:03:52.565
USING THIS SPACE, SO CORPORATE
CONNECTIONS, ET CETERA, FROM
SOME OF OUR OTHER COLLEGES,
MAYBE A POSSIBILITY DOWN THE

35
00:03:52.565 --> 00:03:59.606
ROAD. WE'RE ALSO TALKING TO
OTHER EDUCATIONAL GROUPS THAT
MIGHT BE IN THE SPACE. SO KIND
OF GIVES IT A FLAVOR THAT STAYS

36
00:03:59.606 --> 00:04:05.445
CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT -- IT IS A
VERY LARGE BUILDING THAT WE'RE
IN.
>> QUICKLY, THIS IS PART OF A

37
00:04:05.445 --> 00:04:10.783
CHANGING SIDE OF INDIANAPOLIS,
YOU'RE BEGINNING TO SEE THAT
HAPPEN.
>> WE LOVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND

38
00:04:10.783 --> 00:04:16.356
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS READY FOR
THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY, WE'RE
WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATION AND URBAN DESIGN FOR

39
00:04:16.356 --> 00:04:18.958
THAT AREA WILL BE ONE OF THE
OUTCOMES.
>> ALL RIGHT, FOOTPRINT
