This area, which is called the Purdue Village, was formerly known as Married Student Housing. Recognizing the value in keeping the new research facility close to campus, this is the site that has been identified as working best for the entire campus community. The university has not yet determined the full scope of the new research complex, but the first building will probably house the nanotechnology research center.
Nanotechnology focuses on building extremely small devices and systems atom by atom.
It has a wide variety of potential applications in business, medical treatment,communications and other fields. All occupants of the affected areas of Purdue Village are expected to be accommodated in the undisturbed portion of the complex.
