FACILITY FOCUS
PURDUE'S FOOTBALL
PERFORMANCE COMPLEX
By Kevin Hoffman, Editorial Director
Football recruits who visit Purdue University are
welcomed by a shrine to the program's history and athletic
commitment: the Kozuch Football Performance complex.
The 112,000-square-foot behemoth is a shining
example of the investment Division I universities are
making in their football programs. Built in 2017, the $65
million complex comprises all facets of the Boilermaker
football program, housing sports medicine and
hydrotherapy space, a nutrition station, coaches offices, a
player development room, meeting rooms, and the team
locker room. Prior to the complex's opening, players
would need to visit one building to get treatment and
another to lift weights or watch film.
" We wanted everything under one roof, " said Tom
Schott, senior associate athletic director. " A place where
when football players weren't in class, they were in this
building working on football, or studying, or just relaxing
and hanging out; a lot of that non-football time that's
important to team building. "

The Kozuch Football Performance complex is just one
piece of Purdue's larger effort to position its facilities
among the nation's best. In 2017, Mackey Arena was
upgraded with 13 Daktronics LED displays to improve
the experience for basketball fans. In the weeks leading
up to the 2019 season, Ross-Ade Stadium was equipped
with a massive Daktronics ribbon board that shows
statistics and scores from around the Big Ten. Before the
2020 season, the stadium will receive a new videoboard
that could measure up to 150 feet tall.
During the summer of 2019, the board of trustees
approved additional projects that, over the span of several
years, could cost between $100 million and $120 million.
Improvements are expected in the upper bowl, concourse,
pavilion and south end zone.
The Kozuch Football Performance complex sits at the
center of it all, next door to Mackey Arena and just across
John R. Wooden Drive from the 95-year-old stadium.
Visitors who enter the complex are first greeted by a
