The Van Nuys Medical Science Building is located on the IUPUI Campus as part of the IU Medical Center. The building serves as an academic and research facility for the IU School of Medicine providing significant laboratory space for the campus. Originally, the building served to consolidate academic laboratory functions on the campus into a singular facility and provide space for the creation of a more robust medical library. Upon completion, the building provided new research space for Robert W. Long Hall, William H. Coleman Hall, Fesler Hall, Willis D. Gatch Hall, and Emerson Hall. The building is located just north of Emerson Hall and University Hospital, and adjacent to the Medical Research and Library Building.
