Horne Academic Center

In October 2024, alumni, family, and friends dedicated Taylor’s newest academic building in 10 years. The Horne Academic Center is a 45,000-square-foot, $30 million facility that was funded entirely through philanthropic dollars and represents a significant investment in the future of education at Taylor. It's home to two signature programs: award-winning Film and Media Arts and the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE).

Film & Media Arts

This growing program has over 1,000 external awards and recognitions. Film & Media Arts graduates work in Hollywood, corporate media, advertising and creative marketing agencies, and not-for-profit and ministry organizations.

Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship

The Vandermeulen Innovation Hub addresses a growing demand of students for entrepreneurial experiences, unifies innovation and entrepreneurship on campus, and allows the University to initiate new partnerships that will spur significant development in our region and beyond.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generous donors whose support made this project possible and to Taylor’s academic leadership for their vision. We eagerly anticipate how this new facility will enrich our students’ educational journeys and contribute to advancing God’s work in the world.

Life to the Full: Give Where Needed Most

Fund the most strategic initiatives with the greatest impact in the Life to the Full campaign. With partners who are passionate about our vision, we can be the leading Christ-centered, student-focused university, committed to carrying the light and faith of Christ to a world in need.

We are thankful for the generosity of so many during the leadership phase of the campaign, driving us to a total of $275 million. We invite alumni, parents, and friends to join this campaign that will have a generational impact on Taylor and the Kingdom of God around the world.
