PURDUE SETS UP A WAY TO BUY ASPIRE, AS QUICK FIX ON DORM SPACE

Purdue, struggling to find enough beds for students who want to live on campus, made arrangements last week to buy Aspire, an 831-bed complex built three years ago across State Street from campus.

Purdue trustees fashioned a plan Friday that would have Purdue Research Foundation – a private real estate arm of the university – buy the property and hold on to it until the university gets approval from the state budget committee and the Indiana Commission for Higher Education to make the purchase.
