Purdue University in Indianapolisis an expansioncampus ofPurdue University's West Lafayette location inIndianapolis,Indiana.
The campus was formed on July 1, 2024, following the splitting ofIndiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) intoIndiana University Indianapolis (IUI) and Purdue University in Indianapolis. It inherited the former IUPUI School of Engineering and Technology and the computer science program within the former IUPUI School of Science. All other academic programs, including theathletic program, became part of IU Indianapolis. Purdue plans to expand its academic offerings beyond those.[1][2]
As a fully-integrated expansion campus, students are admitted to Purdue University as a whole, and can choose to spend each semester either at Purdue'sWest Lafayette, Indiana, location, or at the Indianapolis location. Indianapolis is not a regional campus; it has the same oversight and academic rigor as West Lafayette. A goal of the split is to increase the retention of students in Indiana after graduation.[3]
Purdue's Indianapolis campus is a 28-acre (11 ha) plot that was formerly the northeastern-most portion of IUPUI's campus, bordered by Michigan Street, West Street, and Indiana Avenue indowntown Indianapolis.[3] Purdue also initially leased five academic buildings and part of a dormitory from IUI.[4] Ground was broken on the Academic Success Building in April 2025, which will be Purdue's flagship building in Indianapolis. The 248,000-square-foot (23,000 m2) facility, which will have residential, dining, classroom, and laboratory space, is scheduled to be completed in 2027.[5]
Purdue is also creating shared spaces for its faculty and students with industry partners throughout the Indianapolis area. The Purdue motorsports engineering program in Indianapolis moved intoDallara's U.S. headquarters inSpeedway, Indiana,[6] and the newly launched radiopharmaceutical manufacturing graduate program will be housed at the SpectronRx facility on the northside of Indianapolis.[7]
