Purdue Basketball

Forty Nine Degrees partnered with Purdue Athletics on the renovation of Mackey Arena, delivering a full design-build of the program’s premium spaces along with the men’s and women’s basketball team areas. The project modernized locker rooms, player lounges, and team rooms, creating a unified environment that reflects the Boilermakers’ identity.

The men’s spaces carry a dark and moody tone, while the women’s spaces lean light and bright with white and gold finishes. From bold branding to elevated details, every element was designed to enhance the athlete and fan experience, foster team culture, and strengthen Purdue’s recruiting edge while honoring the tradition of Mackey Arena.
