🎉 Ground has broken on the new Purdue University Daniels School of Business - and we’re proud to be part of the team bringing it to life. In collaboration with BSA and with thoughtful input from Purdue’s staff, faculty, and students, we designed a new courtyard and mall that emphasize flexibility, functionality, and outdoor learning. These dynamic spaces are designed to host everything from everyday gatherings to large-scale events, supporting the evolving needs of Purdue’s campus community. Stay tuned as this Purdue University project takes shape! 🛠️🌿

Earlier this week, we celebrated the groundbreaking for the next phase of improvements at Tarkington Park! Thanks to a generous $3 million grant from the Lilly Endowment, the park will soon feature a new youth multi-sports field dedicated to Richard “Coach Nell” Hamilton—an inspiring community advocate and youth football coach. Additional enhancements include 70+ native hardwood trees, new walking pathways, four pickleball courts, a tennis court, and a new playscape, supported by an additional Butler University/Lilly Endowment grant. We’re proud to continue leading the design efforts for Tarkington Park and to build on a decade of shaping this community space! .
