Community leaders were able to tour the new building for Purdue Polytechnic Anderson last week, about six months before it is open for business.

About one-third of the facility will be allocated to academic space. The rest will be built to house a maker space for entrepreneurs and industry partners.

“This is the vision for what Purdue Polytechnic is all about, integration and industrial space together,” said Corey Sharp, director of Purdue Polytechnic Anderson.

The tour included remarks from the mayor of Anderson, Purdue Polytechnic’s entrepreneur in residence, and the CEO of the Anderson Flagship Enterprise Center.
