A $2.2 million addition to the Purdue Technology Center is expected to help attract high-tech jobs to northwest Indiana.
The center that opened in 2005 in the Purdue Research Park of Northwest Indiana is home to 16 businesses in such fields as medicine and fuel-cell technology. The center hosts about 100 workers earning an average annual wage of about $54,000.
The 12,000-square-foot addition brings space at the center to a total of 60,000 square feet.
Officials dedicated the addition on Tuesday.
The Purdue Research Foundation says the addition will provide more opportunities to attract and retain high-tech jobs in the area.
