Historical Information

Located on Northwestern Avenue, the Purdue Exponent Building was home to the Purdue Exponent. In 2017, the Exponent moved it's press equipment to a larger facility at North Ninth Street and Widewater Drive in Lafayette. The newsroom and business office remained on the second floor at the the Northwestern Avenue location and the University Lutheran Church purchased the remainder of the building. The Lutheran Church opened a worship sanctuary on the third floor of the building and the basement, that previously housed the press equipment, was converted into a gym/fellowship hall. The first floor will also be occupied by the Lutheran Church and will contain offices and a cafe.
