Purdue University
Hall of Data Science and AI
West Lafayette, Indiana
At first glance, the former Schleman Hall’s transformation into the new home for Data Science and AI at Purdue University might look like a textbook renovation. But a closer look reveals a carefully orchestrated story of connection across decades, of vision aligned with purpose, and of a campus unlocking the full potential of its existing assets.
The former Schleman Hall was transformed into the new home for Data Science and AI at Purdue University through adaptive reuse, collaborative planning, and a bold rethinking of space.
The renovation reconnected architectural layers from multiple eras, creating a modern research and instructional hub that supports faculty research, student learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
