INDIANAPOLIS — Purdue University leaders have approved a long-term plan to grow the new Indianapolis campus.

Over the next 50 years, they plan to build 16 new buildings, with space for 15,000 students and more than 5,000 dorm beds.

The first building, the Academic Success Building, is already under construction at Michigan and West streets. It will be 15 stories tall and include classrooms, labs, housing, dining areas, and public spaces. Purdue says it should be finished by May 2027.

“The master plan for building the future for Purdue’s first comprehensive urban campus in Indianapolis is the product of numerous meetings and feedback sessions with faculty, staff, students and the community,” said Jay Wasson, Purdue’s vice president for physical facilities and chief public safety officer.
