A gas turbine engine includes a turbine section that includes a turbine rotor arranged in a plenum. A compressor section includes a compressor rotor assembly that has spaced apart inner and outer portions that provide an axially extending cooling channel. Compressor blades extend radially outward from the outer portion which provides an inner core flow path. A rotor spoke is configured to receive a first cooling flow and fluidly connect the outer portion to the cooling channel. The compressor rotor assembly has a coolant exit that is in fluid communication with the cooling channel. The compressor rotor assembly is configured to communicate the first cooling flow to the turbine rotor. A bleed source is configured to provide a second cooling flow. A combustor section includes an injector in fluid communication with the bleed source. The tangential onboard injector is configured to communicate the second cooling flow to the turbine rotor.
