Indiana University Bloomington - Campus

Campus

IUB's 1,933 acres (7.8 km²) includes abundant green space and historic buildings dating to the university's reconstruction in the late nineteenth century. The campus rests on a bed of Indiana limestone, specifically Salem limestone and Harrodsburg limestone, with outcroppings of St. Louis limestone.

The "Jordan River" is a stream flowing through the center of campus. A section of Bloomington's Clear Creek, it is named for David Starr Jordan, Darwinist, ichthyologist, and president of IU and later Stanford University.
