Faculty Crossing is a technology-rich collaboration space for faculty and teaching staff of all appointments. Part workroom, part café, Faculty Crossing provides a welcoming environment that promotes creativity and innovation.
Location and Hours
Faculty Crossing is located on the first floor of the University Library between the Center for Teaching and Learning and the STEM Education Innovation & Research Institute. Find us on this library map.
Accessing the Faculty Crossing
Faculty and teaching staff from IUPUI, IUPUC, and IU Fort Wayne can access Faculty Crossing during regular library hours by swiping their Crimson Card at the door. Faculty can also enter via the Center for Teaching and Learning.
Using the Faculty Crossing
Faculty Crossing's primary purpose is to support collaboration. It provides a welcoming space to brainstorm with co-authors, plan interdisciplinary partnerships, and to make other connections with colleagues. Visitors are welcome to work independently but are reminded that collaboration is not always quiet!
Most of the time, Faculty Crossing is an open workspace. However, there are times when the space is reserved for specific activities like the Forum’s Writing Groups or the monthly FACET call-out meeting. A calendar listing these events can be found here.
To better support open and organic collaboration, reserved times are kept to a minimum. Put plainly, Faculty Crossing is not a space to hold department meetings or staff trainings; it is a place for community and innovation.
