; a ie The Calumet Building was com- pletely remodeled and doubled in size with the addition of a large classroom wing on the west end of the original building in 1963. At the same time, faculty offices were add- ed above the colonnade at the front of t he building. Sports at Purdue Calumet began early in the 1950’s with “‘Inter- Center’’ competition. Intercollegi- ate sports began with basketball Q games with nearby junior colleges. The range of sports has now grown to one each season; soccer for the autumn, basketball in the winter season, and baseball in spring. Parti- cipation by athletes and spectators has grown with the program, and the athletic department looks to next season when they will become members of the National Athletic Intercollegiate Association for the first time.
