and the 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) Student Activities Center (SAC). The university also owns 26 acres (110,000 m2) on the south bank of the St. Joseph River where student housing is located.
The Student Activities Center is the site for athletics, student orientation, intramural sports, fitness classes, exercising, meetings, and recognition ceremonies.
A pedestrian bridge that bears the words "Indiana University South Bend" connects the main campus with the residential halls across the river. Construction of the bridge began in December 2005 and was completed in September 2006. On September 22, 2006, the Indiana University Board of Trustees voted to approve student housing for IU South Bend, to be located across the river. The housing facilities opened in the fall of 2008, consisting of 400 beds in eight apartment-style units, along with a community building.
In August 2007 construction was completed on the 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m2) Indiana University South Bend Elkhart Center in downtown Elkhart, Indiana.
