Luddy Hall

Welcome to Luddy Hall, the innovative facility that became Luddy's new home when it opened in January 2018. The 124,000-square-foot facility features state-of-the-art maker labs, seven classrooms, as well as our academic advising and career services offices.

Luddy prides itself on its collaborative spirit and cohesive culture, bolstered by our $39.2 million Luddy Hall. A teaching and research hub for students and faculty, Luddy Hall offers an innovation center supporting entrepreneurship, a community center devoted to Luddy's diversity programs, and gathering areas and meeting spaces to promote collaboration.

What kind of laptop should I bring to Luddy?

Whatever you’re most comfortable using! Most classes are taught to work with both PCs and Macs; however, there are many computer labs available in the Luddy buildings and across IU’s campus for your use. Luddy has no additional requirements or suggestions beyond IU’s general computer recommendations.

When do I sign up for classes?

Students who have reserved their seat for fall will hear from the Office of First Year Experience Programs with information about the summer New Student Orientation (NSO) program. During NSO, you’ll meet with an academic advisor who will help you select and enroll in your fall courses.

What software do I need at IU/Luddy?

There’s no need to buy anything you don’t already have. As an IU student, you are eligible for free downloads of the Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Creative Cloud, and antivirus products. Visit IUware to view other software available to you.

Scholarships

IU offers a lot of options for financial assistance. The Luddy School offers scholarships to select incoming first-year students who apply to IU by the November 1st non-binding early-action deadline. We are looking for students who plan to use technology in their careers and whose application, transcript, and essay indicate academic excellence and leadership skills.
