Campus Connections

Labyrinth

The brick-paved USI Labyrinth in front of the Liberal Arts building is modeled after New Harmony’s Cathedral Labyrinth and symbolizes USI’s stewardship of Historic New Harmony, an outreach program of USI. Robert Ferré of St. Louis-based Labyrinth Enterprises designed the USI Labyrinth and consulted on New Harmony's. He said that while New Harmony’s granite labyrinth is probably the most beautiful in North America, USI’s 56-foot-wide labyrinth is the largest brick-paved labyrinth ever built in the Chartres design.

Minka Learning Lab

The Minka Learning Lab is a 600 square foot smart home located on the USI outside of the Education Center. This tiny home serves as a showcase for living-in-place with integrated technology. Students, faculty, community members and healthcare professionals can participate in simulations, workshops, research, smart home tours and interdisciplinary class projects.

Center for Communal Studies

The Center for Communal Studies at USI promotes the study of contemporary and historic communal groups, intentional communities and utopias. The Center encourages and facilitates meetings, classes, scholarship, networking and public interest in communal groups past and present, here and abroad.

The Center's Collections hold primary and secondary materials on more than one hundred historic communes and several hundred collective, cooperative and co-housing communities founded since 1965. Noted communal scholars have donated their private collections and their extensive research notes and papers to the Center archives.
