Draft:Purdue University in Indianapolis

Purdue University in Indianapolis (Purdue Indy) is a public university located in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was founded in fall 2024 after its predecessor institution, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, split into two universities: this one and Indiana University Indianapolis. Purdue Indy is operated as a fully integrated extension/campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, the Purdue University System's flagship campus, in a similar system to how Purdue Northwest is split between two campuses, with a main campus at Hammond.

In 2022, the boards of trustees of both IU and Purdue announced that IUPUI will be split between the institutions by the fall 2024 semester. The School of Engineering and Technology, as well as the Department of Computer Science within the School of Science, will form "Purdue University in Indianapolis", a fully integrated extension of Purdue's main campus in West Lafayette. The athletic program and all other academic programs will fall under the aegis of Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI). The main campus of the school of medicine will be located on the resultant IUI.

On August 12, 2022, the boards of trustees of both Purdue and IU announced that IUPUI would split into two separate universities, with completion of the split set to be finished by the fall 2024 semester. The School of Science will be operated by IU along with its other programs, including business, law, nursing, and social work, with the exception of the computer science department. The computer science, engineering, and technology programs will be operated by Purdue as a fully integrated extension of its West Lafayette campus. IU will add new computer science programs to its School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering, and Purdue intends to open a branch of its applied research institute on or near the IUPUI campus. IU will provide certain administrative services to both academic organizations and for the athletic programs.

The working groups are targeting additional building projects, including a possible new residence hall, to support growth in Purdue enrollment.

Purdue plans to integrate with the local community and honor the proud history of the neighborhood surrounding IUPUI’s existing campus.
