WEST LAFAYETTE — The Purdue University Board of Trustees on Friday (June 6) endorsed a comprehensive conceptual campus master plan for Indianapolis, detailing a blueprint designed to transform Purdue’s urban expansion of its main campus that supports industry partnership, research, and experiential learning, eventually for up to 15,000 students.
Additionally, trustees adopted Purdue’s system-wide operating budget for fiscal year 2026, with revenues modestly exceeding expenditures, despite the challenges of the macroeconomic conditions in higher education. Tuition and mandatory fees will remain frozen for all undergraduate students at Purdue’s main campus (Indianapolis and West Lafayette) for the 13th and 14th consecutive years, and tuition and mandatory fees at Purdue Northwest and Purdue Fort Wayne will remain unchanged for Indiana residents for each year of the biennium.
