Welcoming Gabis Arboretum

The largest gift in the history of PNW, the renamed Gabis Arboretum provides educational and research opportunities for people throughout Northwest Indiana and beyond with more than six miles of hiking trails, formal gardens and a unique collection of oak species.
Bioscience Innovation Building
On August 23, 2018, ground was officially broken on PNW’s Hammond Campus for a $40 million Bioscience Innovation Building.
