WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — With the looming split between Indiana University and Purdue University at the IUPUI campus in Indianapolis, the new leader of Purdue says the school's presence will not be going away in downtown Indianapolis. By 2024, IUPUI will become IU-Indianapolis with Purdue maintaining its buildings on the campus, but those buildings will come under the full purview of Purdue's West Lafayette campus going forward. The new president of Purdue University, Mung Chiang, tells Inside Indiana Business that the plan will be the bookend to a much larger plan that involves public-private partnerships along a 'Hard Tech' corridor between West Lafayette and Indianapolis.
