Completion of the Spurgeon Center was the final step in the transformation of facilities at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, which has undergone more than $8 million worth of improvements since 1996.

The Tom Spurgeon Golf Training Center was dedicated in October 2005, named in honor of Tom Spurgeon, a Purdue alumnus from Peoria, IL who made the lead gift of nearly $750,000 toward the center.

Spurgeon graduated from Purdue in 1961 with a bachelor's degree in industrial management. An entrepreneur who's built companies throughout the United States, he most recently was president and CEO of Lincoln Office in Peoria, Ill.

• Indoor putting green
• Swing-analysis video computer system
• Multiple heated hitting bays
• Team locker rooms
