A college campus might not be the first place people imagine living after retirement. But Purdue University is planning a massive development that will bring alums back to school for their senior years.
Purdue, which has 575,000 living alumni, plans to break ground later this year on Varcity at Purdue, a 230,000-square-foot community at the school’s Discovery Park District where retired Boilers and community members will begin living in a couple of years.
Varcity at Purdue will be built on 14 acres and include 230 for-rent living units. About 60% of the units will provide independent-living options (apartments, town houses, villas and flats), with assisted-living and memory-care units available as well.
