As the City of Fort Wayne continues to grow, so does
the demand for higher education. This holds especially
true for Indiana University Purdue University of
Fort Wayne, also known as IPFW. With enrollment growing
every year, IPFW is constantly improving and expanding
to meet the demands of their students, faculty and
alumni. One important attribute the campus pursued
in the spring of 2000 was the addition of campus
entry markers.
The entire project consisted of two forty-foot markers
along the main entrance and five smaller markers,
which now highlight secondary entrances. The markers
are constructed of concrete, concrete masonry units,
brick veneer and Indiana limestone. For the marker
pictured above, the lettering within the limestone
was completed at the mills and shipped in four separate
pieces. Despite the enormous size and weight of the
limestone, each letter lines up perfectly in formation
to provide a monumental presentation to campus visitors.
