The Pathway to Success
Creating a Gateway to ISU and a Connection to
‘riverSCAPE’
Goal PS – Initiative 5

The Pathway to Success
Introduction & Purpose:The 2009 ISU Campus Master
Plan listed eight tenets for the plan.
Tenets #5 - Improve the campus in a manner
that supports the redevelopment of the riverfront in downtown Terre Haute, and
Tenet #6 – Provide a growth option for the
campus that supports the provision of
on-campus athletic facilities that are
competitive with the ISU peer group in the
Missouri Valley Conference.

The Pathway to Success
Methods:Working in conjunction with the ‘riverSCAPE’
and the 2009 ISU campus master plan:•Future athletic campus boundaries along the river
were identified (to the south - U.S. 40, on the west - the Wabash River, Third Street – to the east, and
Sycamore Street to the north)
•Current Property Owners were identified as well as each parcel’s current ‘true tax value’
• Responding to the publication of the University’s master plan, contacts were made with land owners

The Pathway to Success
Benchmarks:•Continue to complete the land acquisition (‘land banking’)
phase of development and complete all required environmental ‘due diligence’ in preparation of individual venue construction
• Once a sufficient number of parcels are obtained, existing improvements are razed (currently sufficient amount to begin the Track and Field/Soccer venue)
• Development of new infrastructure occurs and removal of unnecessary infrastructure occurs
• As funding permits, Design/construction new venues/master plan

The Pathway to Success
Discussion:The ‘Athletics’ Campus identified venues to be planned and located along the Wabash River
(west of Third Street - U.S. 41)
• Practice Fields for Football• New Indoor Practice Facility for Baseball/Softball/Football• New Softball Varsity Field
(replacing the current St. John Complex along 4th Street)
• New Track and Field/Soccer Venue (replacing Marks Field east of Third Street at Chestnut Street)
• New Football Stadium (replacing Memorial Stadium some 2-3 miles east of campus)

The Pathway to Success
Summary: Since December, 2009• All potential needed real estate parcels
and their ‘true tax value’ have been identified, (15 have been acquired, with another 7-8
currently being studied).
• Unneeded structures are being razed
Design work is currently underway for the:• ‘riverSCAPE’ Track and Field/Soccer Venue
• Extension of the Heritage Trail from the ISU campus through the ‘Athletic Venue’ campus south to
Fairbanks Park
