Indiana University Indianapolis Hine Hall 875 W North St, Indianapolis, IN 46202

IUI campus buildings, with downtown Indianapolis behind. The closer brick building on the right is Hine Hall, the venue for WCNA 2024.

The main conference venue was Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI). There were off-site events during the Culture Crawl and evening receptions. On IUI campus, the programming took place in Hine Hall, with some possibility of activities at the main University Library.

Naming

As a note, our host was Indiana University Indianapolis, abbreviated IU Indianapolis, IU Indy, or IUI. This name would be used starting in July 2024. Previously, the campus was previously known as Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, or IUPUI, a shared campus in Indianapolis for Indiana University and Purdue University. After the campus's split, Hine Hall and the University Library became buildings in the Indiana University system. You might still see or hear references to IUPUI; please know this is the same location!

Our main base was the Hine Hall event center, which consisted of a 373-seat auditorium, a two-story lobby area, and 6 classrooms. All organized sessions were held in Hine Hall or the adjoining University Tower. There were an additional 3 meeting spaces and a foyer in the University Tower. Hine Hall included a full restaurant on weekdays, a mail room, a business center, and a courtyard. There was a campus park, Lockefield Green, on the north side. It was connected by skywalks to the University Library and many other buildings.

Parking

North Street Garage (center), with skywalk to Hine Hall to the left.

Parking was free and included with registration for all attendees! If you were a local-area attendee or traveling with a car, just be sure to ask at the registration desk for a parking validation. You would need to park in a campus parking garage (not surface lot), and use a validated parking pass provided by the conference, when exiting the garage. Without validation, parking could be very expensive ($10+ per day!). The closest parking garage to the venue was the North Street Garage, which was connected to Hine Hall via a skywalk on the top floor.

Transportation

Hine Hall was within walking distance of the conference hotels. The free campus shuttle, JAGLINE, could also be used by any attendees, but it only ran on the weekdays. Hine Hall was also served by IndyGo, the Indianapolis city bus, routes 3, 10, 37 (6 and 15 pass nearby), most of which passed through the Downtown Transit Center. The Indiana Pacers Bikeshare was also an inexpensive public, city-run, bikeshare network, with both traditional and electric bikes, with three docking stations within a block of Hine Hall (more here). Electric scooter rentals are plentiful, from companies including Lime, Bird, and Veo.

Nearby facilities

Facilities within Hine Hall or nearby campus buildings included all-gender bathrooms, print facilities, a post office, restaurant, food court, coffee shop, campus bookstore, library, computer labs, nursing room, multi-faith prayer room, courtyard, and green space. It was connected by skywalk to one of Indianapolis' main hospitals.
