Greyhound Village offers glimpse inside

GV virtual tour [1]This virtual tour provides a peek into five simulated spaces at Greyhound Village, which opens next year at the corner of Shelby Street and National Avenue. A partial model apartment is available for viewing in Schwitzer Student Center.

Reservations for 2016-2017 accepted now with no deposit required

You can see its four-story frame rising at the northwest corner of campus: Greyhound Village [2], a new kind of residential option to meet the needs of nearly 500 UIndy juniors, seniors and graduate students.

Scheduled to open in late summer 2016, the furnished 1- to 4-bedroom apartments will combine the best of on-campus and off-campus living for students who appreciate privacy and such amenities as private bathrooms, in-unit kitchens and laundry appliances, balconies and patios, a fitness center, indoor and outdoor lounge and recreation areas, and access to UIndy cable and Internet services, among other features.

Though the construction site is still a hardhat area, there are two ways to get an advance taste of life in Greyhound Village. One is an online virtual tour [1] that provides interactive, 360-degree views from within 3D renderings of the main lobby, the fitness center, a living room, a bedroom and a common area with seating and game tables. Check it out here [1], and right-click on the tour window for a variety of viewing perspectives (“Architectural View” is recommended).

For a hands-on experience of the Greyhound Village decor, visit the model kitchen and living space in Schwitzer Student Center, located behind The Hub near the ping-pong and pool tables. Marketing Manager Zach Brown staffs the area from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each weekday, signing up prospective tenants for more information and showing off the granite countertops and sleek furniture.

For a limited time, interested students can reserve a preferred space at Greyhound Village for 2016-17 with no deposit and no obligation. Beginning in November, official housing agreements will be offered in the order reservations were received. Click here [3] for details.

Designed by architects Schmidt Associates to replace the now-vanished Campus Apartments, Greyhound Village is a joint venture between UIndy and developer Strategic Capital Partners. Monthly rates and other information are available at greyhoundvillage.com. [2]
