Fesler Hall is located on the western end of Indiana University Indianapolis campus as part of the IU Medical Center. The building was the former site of the Indiana State Board of Health headquarters until being occupied by Indiana University in 1949. During the board of health's occupation, the building served as a hub for public health outreach and education programs in cooperation with the Indiana University School of Medicine. Indiana University used the building as a new center for clinical programs located on the campus to compensate the growing medical student population. Fesler Hall is located in a cluster of medical facilities that include the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute, William H. Coleman Hall, Robert W. Long Hall, Willis D. Gatch Hall, and the School of Nursing Building.
