Lambert Fieldhouse, located at the corner of Northwestern and Stadium Avenues, is the indoor home of Purdue track & 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 & 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.
