University Hall was constructed in 2015 at the cost of $23 million and designed by Ratio Architects.

The construction of the new University Hall would replace the old Administration Building, and, subsequently, its demolition.

[2] In 2023, University Hall created a new mental wellness resource room on the second floor as a place where faculty and students can go to relax and decompress.

The room included snacks, cushioned furniture, yoga mats, fidget toys, and educational materials about dealing with stress.

The room was created by the IU School of Social Work, the IU School of Social Work Alumni Association, and the Indianapolis Zen Center.
