The Purdue Shop

The Purdue Shop is a store located on Joe Tiller Drive in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States. This institution is not just a store, but a hub of campus and community activity. The official student section of Purdue Men’s Basketball, the Paint Crew, is 2,800 strong and serves as Purdue’s official sixth man. The floor of Mackey Arena was named ‘Keady Court’ in honor of legendary men’s basketball coach Gene Keady.

In addition to being a store, The Purdue Shop offers a state-of-the-art fitness facility where you can join group fitness classes, work out on your own schedule, or try something new. Test your skills on the 55-foot-tall roped climbing wall or the bouldering wall with over 60 horizontal feet of terrain.

The institution is also home to four bells with a history stretching back over 100 years, including a special speaker for songs like “Hail Purdue!” Explore the campus and take part in treasured traditions, find the perfect spot for studying, and meet friends at the union for dining, gathering, and retail and banking services.

The Purdue Shop is also involved in cutting-edge research and innovation, such as SK hynix's semiconductor advanced packaging investment in Purdue Research Park, the development of the first highway segment in the U.S. that can charge electric vehicles as they drive, and the creation of biocompatible nanoparticles to enhance cancer immunotherapy delivery.

Purdue President Mung Chiang has even joined Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on a trip to Costa Rica to advance semiconductor partnerships. With its diverse offerings and involvement in groundbreaking research, The Purdue Shop is truly a dynamic and integral part of the Purdue University community.
