Bechtel Innovation Design Center

Students at Purdue University needed an advanced prototyping facility – a makerspace – where they could come together to design and build solutions to real-world problems. Purdue Polytechnic Institute and the College of Engineering came together to create a state-of-the-art, hands-on makerspace open to all Purdue University students. Thanks to key industry partnerships, students learn, design and create at Bechtel Center using the latest equipment – the very equipment they’ll use when they join the workforce after graduation. From individual projects to entrepreneurial ventures to industry-sponsored team competitions, Purdue students use Bechtel Center to bring innovative designs to life.
