Preparing Our Campus for the Next 50 Years
For 50 years, MIU has enjoyed ample space on the beautiful 240-acre campus that Parsons graciously bestowed on us. But today, as a consequence of MIU’s record-setting growth, we critically need new dorms, more classrooms, and more faculty housing. And we need more land on which to expand.
Fortunately, there are ideal properties that surround our campus. Three of these have just appeared on the market. We have a rare chance to acquire them—if we move fast.
In these pages we present these strategic land opportunities and construction projects that are key to MIU’s growth. We also showcase projects designed to greatly enrich the quality of life for our students and community—a new swimming pool, new air systems for our Golden Domes, and much more.
And we present other exciting projects, like expanding our Solar MEG’Array to achieve energy independence and fulfill our President’s Climate Leadership commitment.
Plus a total overhaul of our campus IT infrastructure—crucial for handling our fast-growing online student population.
In our first 50 years, we have come so far! Your support today will ensure that our next 50 years will be even more extraordinary.
Make our Golden Jubilee momentous! Please contribute generously.
Land Acquisition
The following three highly strategic, contiguous properties will give MIU ample room to grow—now and well into the future!
Grain Elevators
This is an opportunity for campus development we must not miss! Seventeen acres ready for prime residential vastu construction.
Spees Property
This 3-acre block of real estate will connect the grain elevator on the north to the MIU main campus to the south.
Hartnett Property
Three choice acres located in the heart of our MIU campus – an ideal location for student vastu housing.
New Construction
Fairfield Business Park
MIU recently received a generous gift comprised of an 87,000 square foot office building, half of which is being renovated into student residences.
Utopia Park to be rebuilt as Global Peace Village
MIU is orchestrating a phased retirement of the Utopia Park trailers which will be replaced with the Global Peace Village.
MEG’Array Solar Power Plant: Expand capacity and upgrade batteries
Made possible by a $350,000 matching pledge, MIU plans to double the size of it solar array and upgrade the batteries — 80% of MIU energy needs will come from renewable sources.
