CIU Facilities

CIU is a warm, welcoming place. That of course, includes the people, as well as the neatly maintained facilities that invite you to come live, pray, study and play during the most important years of a lifelong learner’s life.

The campus is geared toward resident students, but also ideal for meetings, conferences and other gatherings that keep CIU hopping year round.

Auditoriums, classrooms, residence halls, the library and beautiful grounds all add to our ability to serve our ultimate reason for being: “To Know Him and to Make Him Known.”

And to make you feel at home.

Student Housing

More than 400 students live on campus, many of them residing in six traditional residence halls. Each contains community laundry facilities, kitchens and lounges.

Pine View Apartments

The Pine View Apartments offer one-, two- and three-bedroom units at affordable rates in an on-campus location that’s secure, scenic, quiet and inviting. A community center provides large-screen televisions, coffee bar, kitchen and fireplace, plus a view of the woods and athletic fields from a front porch rocking chair that completes the setting.

Pine View is open to all currently enrolled students, employees, and alumni.
