Completed in 2001, the Arts and Journalism Building (AJ) houses degree programs affiliated with our School of Journalism and Strategic Communication and School of Art. It includes the popular Atrium Food Court, an art gallery, campus bookstore, and our Unified Student Media Lab. AJ, Letterman, and Ball Communications buildings are all connected, forming a communications complex.

Called simply the Letterman Building by the community, the structure is named in honor of David Letterman, the university's most prominent alumnus, who attended its dedication in 2007. The building houses the office of our College of Communication, Information and Media and its Departments of Media and Communication Studies. It features state-of-the-art production facilities and is the home of both Indiana Public Radio and the student-run radio station WCRD-FM. The Art and Journalism, Letterman, and Ball Communication buildings are connected and form a communications complex.
