Proud to be the architect of the original headquarters (LEED Platinum) and $24 Million expansion of this great company!

Thank you Sweetwater, for your commitment to excellence!

Groundbreaking ceremonies for two big MSKTD projects recently – Sweetwater’s new office/warehouse addition and Erin’s House for Grieving Children new home.

Sweetwater broke ground on its 110,000 sf expansion on Wednesday, November 14^th.  In attendance for the ceremony were Governor Mitch Daniels, Mayor Tom Henry, city/county officials and economic development staff.   The new addition, a combination of warehouse/office/conference & training space, brings with it 315 full-time positions.   Big thanks to Sweetwater founder and president Chuck Surack on his continuing commitment to the Allen County community.

On Thursday, November 15^th, Erin’s House for Grieving Children broke ground on their new home off St. Joe Center Road next to the new YMCA project.   With a residential/homey atmosphere, the new 14,500 sf facility will include program rooms, a rec room, a craft room, gathering room, and administrative offices and training room.  The site will also include space for a memory garden.   Watch for future opportunities to help support the building project.
