Purdue Polytechnic students recently developed concepts for Traction Yards, the planned redevelopment of the former Circle Centre Mall site, and presented their ideas to Hendricks Commercial Properties. This valuable collaboration continues this fall with a new group of students in themed entertainment design courses. Experiences like this give our students early professional exposure while strengthening the relationships that connect Purdue with Indianapolis businesses and community leaders!
