Founder’s College is primarily located on Butler’s South Campus, a walkable distance from amenities such as Irwin Library, the Health and Recreation Complex (HRC), Career and Professional Success, and Butler’s new Commuter’s Lounge. Founder’s College is ideally situated for seamless commutes by car, bike, or public transportation.

Marianne Glick and Mike Woods Founder’s College Commons
In addition to close integration with Butler’s Central Campus, renovations dedicated to Founder’s College and its inaugural class are complete thanks to a generous $2.5 million gift from Butler alumna Marianne Glick ʼ73, MS ʼ74 and her spouse Mike Woods. These renovations, spanning over 9,000 square feet, include state-of-the-art classrooms, a dynamic social hub, convenient dining, and offices dedicated to student support and belonging.
To commemorate the couple’s philanthropic support of the Founder’s College mission and profound impact on communities across Indiana, Butler University has dedicated this central space for Founder’s College on Butler’s campus as the Marianne Glick and Mike Woods Founder’s College Commons.
