We celebrated a significant milestone last week in Indianapolis with the ribbon cutting for the Bowen School of Construction at Purdue Polytechnic.
Made possible by a transformative $10 million gift from the Bowen family, this generous investment will expand construction education in Indianapolis — supporting labs, equipment, faculty recruitment and hands-on learning opportunities — while establishing a lasting endowment supporting our students and faculty while fueling industry engagement across Purdue.
