Lambert Fieldhouse

Lambert Fieldhouse, located at the corner of Northwestern and Stadium Avenues, is the indoor home of Purdue track and field. Built in 1937, Lambert was the home of the Purdue men's basketball team prior to the construction of Mackey Arena in 1967, and the swimming and diving teams prior to the construction of the Boilermaker Aquatic Center in 2001. Enclosed in the building, which is named for legendary former Purdue basketball coach Ward "Piggy" Lambert, is a six-lane, 200-meter Rekortan track. In 1999, Lambert received $30,000 worth of improvements to its timing system.
