Capital Projects

What are Capital Projects?

Capital projects support the growth and enrichment of Butler's physical campus and learning community. These projects and initiatives change as Butler changes with the times. Your support is crucial to keeping Butler on the leading edge of liberal arts-based higher education. Please consider earmarking your gift for one of these exciting projects.

Butler Performing Arts Complex

New construction and major renovations to Lilly Hall and Robertson Hall create enhanced performance and classroom spaces to serve Butler's growing arts programs. The Performing Arts Complex project builds upon the existing physical facilities of the Jordan College of Fine Arts to support Butler's nationally recognized education programs and collaborative relationships with community arts organizations.

The Richard M. Fairbanks Center for Communication and Technology

The Fairbanks Center and its programs embody a spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration that Butler University believes will define the future of communication and education. Completed in 2001, it houses the communication and technology programs from both the Jordan College of Fine Arts and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, including:

  • The Eugene S. Pulliam School of Journalism
  • The Department of Communication Studies
  • The Department of Computer Science
  • The Department of Media Arts
