This expansion will support up to 5,320 student beds. It aims for a future enrollment of 15,000 students.

“The conceptual master plan endorsed today charts the physical path,” Purdue president Mung Chiang said.

Chiang added that it is a transformative vision for Purdue in Indy. The plan follows Purdue’s inaugural year operating in the city.

It focuses on Purdue’s sustained growth within Indiana’s capital, which will unfold over a 50-year time frame.
