Making of the Purdue 150th Anniversary Penny Press
Channel: Purdue Engineering
Date: 2018-09-25

Purdue University’s EPICS team is bringing this memorable experience to Boilermakers with their own version of a penny press in honor of Purdue’s Sesquicentennial, 150 Years of Giant Leaps celebration. The penny press was unveiled prior to the Homecoming football game, and now will permanently reside in the atrium of the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering.

The 8-foot-6-inch penny press has four iconic designs chosen by Purdue students, but it will do more than just press pennies. The press has LED lights to mimic the lights on the Bell Tower, archived pictures of the university and audio including the Purdue fight song and Neil Armstrong’s moon landing quote.
