Did you know that the Fort Wayne Trails Rivergreenway runs through campus? In addition to our Native Trees River Walk, you can cross the Ron Venderly Family Bridge and head north to Shoaff Park—or follow the trail south to Downtown Fort Wayne!
For "Throwback Thursday" we share another Mastodon found! This is at Buesching's Peat Moss on the Cook Road. In 2004 IPFW celebrated their 40th Anniversary and local businesses painted these Don's in tribute. BTW...it was at Bueschings they unearthed a Mastodon!
We're looking back at some of the highlights of 2021 this week. Next up is the pedestrian bridge over S.R. 930 in Fort Wayne. This year the bridge was able to open up for the community to use. The color options seem almost endless that the bridge can be lit up with!

We've got quite a bit to be thankful for being discussed in this month's ERC News Brief. The first planting for the ERC landscaping project has made it in the ground, The Nature Network's first speaker on sea turtle research is November 17th, an update on Dr. Paladino's lab, and some thought provoking ideas on the Clean Water Act.
Have you mastered where everything is on campus yet? It would have been a bit more straightforward in 1973 when this aerial view of our campus was taken! For more historical pictures of PFW, check out our University Archives Gallery in mDON: mDON mastodon Digital Object Network#ThrowbackThursday
It’s best to stop by in the pouring rain 😉 to see how the runoff from the building is being channeled into the landscape where it flows through the roots of the native plants and is cleaned on its way to the St. Joseph River which runs nearby.
A mix of straight-species native perennials and shrubs along with some native cultivars will grow into a landscape that illustrates methods to improve the functionality and environmental benefits of any landscape. Note the sedge plugs that will grow together to resemble a ‘lawn’ that looks great but requires less care than a traditional lawn.
Thanks to the many good people associated with PFW and the ERC who helped with the preparation, execution, and funding of this project!
Today, we broke ground on the Surack-Sweetwater Music Industry Building, a 26,000-square-foot facility that’s scheduled to open in time for the fall 2026 semester.
When completed, the new music industry building’s amenities will include three recording studios and control rooms, 10 edit suites, an audio lab, rehearsal spaces, a large classroom, seven offices, and a conference room.
“We are fortunate to be creating a music industry incubator like no other in the country,” said John O’Connell, dean of Purdue Fort Wayne Visual and Performing Arts. “In a unique way, the high-level resources we will be providing to our students will help take interests many of them began pursuing at home during the pandemic to the next level. What we’re doing is giving them an opportunity to turn this passion into a career through training and experiences comparable to what’s happening in the business today.”
The Surack-Sweetwater Music Industry Building will give students a real-world educational environment, with three recording studios and control rooms, 10 edit suites, an audio lab, rehearsal spaces, and more.

A familiar campus structure recently received a new name. The bridge crossing Crescent Avenue is now the W. Paul and Carolyn Wolf Bridge, named in honor of two steadfast Mastodon athletics supporters. We celebrated the Wolfs with a dedication ceremony and reception yesterday.
Throughout the next 24 months, a new, four-story student housing facility will be built on North Campus. Tuesday’s groundbreaking ceremony featured multiple speakers who described how the 213,000-square foot complex, which will be called Trace at Purdue Fort Wayne, helps the university’s ongoing evolution.
