A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
The University of Iowa has a beautiful, self-contained campus in Iowa City, IA. Spanning over 2,000 acres of land, the campus includes over 200 buildings ranging from academic to power plants, dormitory, and athletic facilities.
Which of the following features are present on campus and which are included within the institutional boundary?:
| Present? | Included? | |
| Agricultural school | No | No |
| Medical school | Yes | Yes |
| Other professional school with labs or clinics (e.g. dental, nursing, pharmacy, public health, veterinary) | Yes | Yes |
| Museum | Yes | Yes |
| Satellite campus | No | No |
| Farm larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres | No | No |
| Agricultural experiment station larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres | No | No |
| Hospital | Yes | No |
The rationale for excluding any features that are present from the institutional boundary:
The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics are among the largest operational medical teaching facilities in the world. These facilities are not included in the UI submission. When STARS assessments fully reflect the challenges facing very large medical treatment and teaching hospitals, UI officials will review the potential for their inclusion.
