Alumni Living

If you want to live in a new, wellness-infused residential community designed for older adults that is adjacent to a globally respected research institution, then Varcity is the place for you!

Varcity offers state-of-the-art, amenity-rich living options within the burgeoning Discovery Park District, a massive, mixed-use development located at the edge of Purdue’s flagship West Lafayette campus. Varcity is an intergenerational center for excellence that is dedicated to lifelong learning and longevity.

Due to its official affiliation with the university, Varcity at Purdue will feature elements customized for the community:

  • Ground floor specifically designed for interaction with students, faculty, and the larger community.
  • Early childhood education center.
  • Expansive green spaces and professional-grade pickleball courts.
  • On-site lifelong learning center.
  • ID cards for all residents with access to university facilities.
  • Opportunities to audit lecture courses free of charge.
  • Collaboration with the university on research, teaching, student internships, and service opportunities.


When you choose Varcity, you’ll be joining a Discovery Park District community that is quickly transforming the face of Purdue.

Along with various cutting-edge research facilities, this growth includes Provenance, a walkable, dynamic community of townhomes, apartments, and single-family homes. Amenities at Provenance, which was designed to be a unique oasis for residents in all phases of life, include a clubhouse, nature trails, and restaurants.

In the heart of it all will be a 1938 barn donated by Purdue Trustee Sonny Beck. The Beck’s Family Barn will be relocated from Sheridan, Indiana, and reconstructed in Squirrel Park to serve as a restaurant and events center.

And we’re just getting started—we’re continually exploring ways to help you and everyone who loves Purdue find a perfect forever home on our beloved campus. Stay tuned!
