Landscape Architecture plans, designs, and manages all site and landscape improvements for new construction and the renovation of existing facilities at Indiana University.
Landscape Architecture staff also help create master, land use, and open space plans that guide the future development of all IU campuses.
Help ensure IU campuses remain beautiful for generations to come through our tree and bench donor programs:
You can donate funding to have a tree planted on the Indiana University campus.
To make a donation, please complete a donation form for each individual tree you wish to donate and identify a contact person for that donation. (You may name the same contact person for multiple trees.)
The minimum donation required for a tree is $1,500. Additional contributions are welcome and go directly to the care of trees that are part of the donor program.
In order to ensure we are able to meet our commitment, there are designated cut-off dates to submit donor forms for each planting season:
Spring planting—March 1
Fall planting—September 1

The following is a list of trees available for named tree donations. The actual species will be selected by the university’s landscape architect.
Please keep in mind that not every tree on the list is appropriate for every location on campus. If you feel strongly about the location of the tree you are donating, then greater flexibility about the type of tree will be required. If you feel strongly about donating a certain type of tree, then flexibility about its location on campus will be necessary.
