Introducing the Trace at Purdue Fort Wayne

 

As part of Purdue Fort Wayne’s continuing effort to offer a robust campus for our Mastodons, we are pleased to announce a new student housing complex, Trace at Purdue Fort Wayne, which will provide hundreds of more beds, and a variety of amenities, for students. 

The new building will open for the Fall 2026 semester. Current residential students will be able to select a room at the Trace beginning November 18, 2025 and room selection will open to all current students beginning when room selection opens in February 2026.
