Willis D. Gatch Hall, shortened to Gatch Hall, was constructed as an addition for the former Robert W. Long Hospital. Gatch Hall served as additional space for outpatient services, clinical services, and imaging services. Following the construction of University Hospital and the reorganization of medical services at the IU Medical Center, Gatch Hall would transition to an academic center supporting the School of Allied Health, Division of Nuclear Medicine, and Department of Radiology. The building continues to serve as an academic center for various divisions and departments within the IU School of Medicine. Gatch Hall was one of the early buildings on the IU Medical Center alongside Fesler Hall, Emerson Hall, and Coleman Hall. The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute and the School of Nursing Building are more recent additions to the IU Medical Center cluster.
