Founders Park
In 1994, a new Liberal Arts and Education building began construction . Located in front of this building, a new park was designed and built named Founders Park.
Founders Park has a rectangular layout and consists of beautiful green trees, the Loeb Fountain, stone tables and benches.

In honor of the people who played crucial role in founding and shaping Purdue in its difficult early years, Founders Park is located in the heart of the original campus.
A plaque installed in the area near the Loeb Fountain lists the representatives of those people, including students, faculty members, trustees, benefactors and administrators who helped form Purdue.
