Walkability
Discovery Park District at Purdue has been intentionally designed with an eye toward walkability. Most of the district core, research labs, residential developments, and planned retail are accessible within a 10 minute walk from the centrally located Squirrel Park and Beck Family Barn. Extending this radius to 20 minutes opens the door to numerous cultural amenities on the Purdue campus.
Residential Options for Everyone
Built by Old Town Design Group, Provenance at Discovery Park District is redefining life in West Lafayette through its multi-phase plan that includes townhomes, apartments and single-family homes. Adjacent to the district's flagship Convergence Center, J.C. Hart has constructed Continuum, with 249 apartments ranging from studios to two-bedroom units and 15,000 square feet of ground level retail space.
Ascension Neighborhood Hospital
In May 2022, Ascension St. Vincent and Purdue University announced plans to build a neighborhood hospital in the Discovery Park District at Purdue, adjacent to Purdue University’s campus. Ascension St. Vincent has purchased seven acres of land from the university located at the northeast corner of Airport Road and Highway 231. The facility will bring inpatient, emergency care, imaging, and laboratory services within the city of West Lafayette for the first time.

You might hear that Purdue University is a U.S. News & World Report Top 10 Most Innovative School (2021), that 135+ countries are represented in the student population, or tuition rates have been held flat for more than a decade, but the community impact runs deeper. Residents of the Greater Lafayette area enjoy theater, concerts, Big Ten sports, lectures by world-renowned experts, and countless other life-enriching opportunities.
Central Hub for Social Gatherings and Events
Located at the pivot point between business, research, and residential zones within Discovery Park District, Squirrel Park will serve as a social and recreational hub within the district.
