The Indiana University Police Department (IUPD) advises all students, faculty, staff and visitors that traffic control barricades located along eastbound 33rd Avenue have been intentionally positioned to ensure public safety and proper traffic flow.

​Unauthorized removal, tampering with, or bypassing of these physical traffic control devices is strictly prohibited under state law and campus regulations. Operating a vehicle past established closure markers poses a severe safety hazard to pedestrian and vehicular traffic alike.

​IUPD officers are actively monitoring the area. Strictly enforced compliance is in effect, and drivers found violating traffic control measures or moving barricades will be subject to immediate traffic citations, fines, or further administrative action. Please utilize designated alternative routes to exit campus safely.

Welcome to the Fall 2026 semester at Indiana University Northwest! We're happy to see you on campus whether new or returning.

We have a few announcements out of the norm for the library due to the August 11 storm pushing renovation into this week.

Please use the 2nd and 3rd floor when in the library. We still have some renovation activity taking place on 1st floor. The library cafe is currently closed; please use the main cafeteria in Moraine. Our front desk is open, but Reserve books are currently being reshelved.

We hope the rest of the semester goes smoothly for all of you, and reach out if you have any questions or needs!

While these power stations are offered, please note that their availability differs from our library’s open hours. The library itself, which is inside the building past the lobby, is closed this weekend. We hope the new charging stations bring much needed relief until power is fully restored for everyone!

In response to extended power outages affecting communities across Northwest Indiana, Indiana University Northwest is opening the lobby of the John W. Anderson Library/Conference to provide community members with access to device charging. The building is located at 130 W. 35th Avenue, Gary, Indiana, 46408. Community members can only enter the building using the 35th Avenue entrance.

Three Power Towers can be found in the building’s lobby, where members of the public may charge phones and other electronic devices during the following hours:

**Saturday, August 22: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.
**Sunday, August 23: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Monday, August 24 – Thursday, August 27: 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Friday, August 28: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

** Indicating special hours due to the power outages. The lobby is not traditionally open on these days.

Please note that the remainder of the IU Northwest campus will be closed through Sunday, August 23, and will reopen Monday, August 24.

IU Northwest is pleased to make this resource available to our Northwest Indiana neighbors as our community continues to navigate the impacts of the extended power outages.
