Dive in and enjoy the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center. With 80,521 sq. ft., this space was renovated through a collaboration between Recreation & Wellness, Intercollegiate Athletics and the Department of Health & Kinesiology. It was completely funded with gifts from alumni and friends of Purdue University. We’ve got seating for 625 spectators and host lots of competitions at a local, regional and national level. 1.3 million gallons of water fill this space! Add the 12 person spa and you have found the perfect place to de-stress in between classes and exams. Check out some details:
