Virtual Tour & Campus Map
Welcome home, future Grizzlies.
Our campus spans 207 acres, including athletic fields and a 31-acre biology woodland. Because Franklin is close to Indianapolis, its residents enjoy easy access to the resources offered by a large city, but they can also enjoy the charm and small-town atmosphere of Franklin itself, which has a population of more than 25,000. Take some time to explore our inviting campus, which beckons you to prepare for today’s global professions and those of the future.
