 The human mind, place it in the right environment, and it thrives. Place it among other thriving minds, and the possibilities are limitless. Today, Purdue is imagining the future environment in higher education. We're imagining the ways in which our educational mission can be furthered through the design of our physical space and facilities, and the ways in which we can thus serve the state of Indiana through our land grant promise. At more than 43,000 students enrolled, Purdue is the largest it's ever been, and the number of undergraduates pursuing STEM majors is projected to increase dramatically by 2028. Yet we are turning away highly talented prospective students in STEM for lack of space. We recognize too our role in spurring Indiana's economy and prosperity by educating the engineers and technologists who will build a more technically proficient workforce for the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution, Industry 4.0. And although Indiana ranks highly for the best states in business, it ranks 42nd for labor supply. Our solution? The Gateway Complex. Built on the site of the current Nuclear Engineering Building and Michael Golden Labs, this four-story industry-focused facility will form a welcoming new university entrance, expanding the space at that location by 2.3 times and becoming the academic home for schools from both the College of Engineering and the Purdue Polytechnic Institute. It will create an interdisciplinary hub of project-based teaching labs, reconfigurable instructional labs, research labs, and a first for any university in the nation, virtual labs at an extensive scale. And it will be home to the Hoosier Hot Corner, its first physical front door for businesses to be led by an academic unit. Here, startups and other companies will establish a base to collaborate with faculty, create senior design projects, hire student interns, and identify full-time employees amid one of the largest populations of engineering and technology students in the country. In one place, proximity will spark new perspectives, insight, and creativity as students, faculty, businesses, and entrepreneurs work side by side. Greater numbers of bright young minds receiving a Purdue STEM education, greater connection between job-ready Purdue graduates and the Indiana companies eager to hire them. Through the Gateway Complex, we are creating the right environment for unlimited opportunities.
