The Space Standards are a collection of floor plans and design narratives that define and encapsulate the factors that make an Ivy Tech space successful. They were developed to establish a baseline for equity in facilities across all service areas. As these standards are implemented, they will create a unified, cohesive experience embodying Ivy Tech’s values, vision for the future, and best teaching practices.
The Space Standards illustrated are ideal-scenario conditions, and the exact duplication of these spaces is not expected. The intent of the standards is to encourage similar sizes, function, and spatial relationships to implement the College’s best practices throughout the State.
The Space Standards are intended to streamline the design process, reducing design cost and time. With the proper allocation of space from a project’s onset, Ivy Tech can ensure quality and efficiency while planning and funding capital investments.
Ivy Tech Community College is classified as a Title II entity under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As such, spaces at Ivy Tech are required by state and federal law to follow the guidelines of the ADA.
