HOBART HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT

This exciting new High School project received approval from the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance. The design was done by Gibraltar Design. Bidding was completed inside the budget. The Ground Breading Ceremony was a fabulous event (to the credit of Superintendent Dr. Jack Leach and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Peggy Buffington). Project construction started in the Spring of 2006 and much excitement is in the air in the School City of Hobart.

ELKHART SCHOOL PROJECTS

Roosevelt Elementary is nearing completion and will be ready for students in August 2006. This building features one of the largest skylights ever lifted onto a school. This very sophisticated project was designed by Fanning/Howey. Superintendent Mr. Mark Mow and Business Manager Mr. Doug Hasler have represented the school's interests in this project.

Riverview Elementary is ready to begin construction in the summer of 2006 and will be ready for students in the fall of 2007. Once again, Fanning/Howey is the designer. This project also bid within the established budget.

SUNMAN DEARBORN PROJECT

East Central High School is a project in excess of $45,000,000. This project will be completed within the 20 month time schedule established at the beginning of the project and will be done on budget. Mr. John Roeder, Superintendent, has been a strong and positive school leader for the renovation and expansion.

MERRILLVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROJECTS

Salk Elementary, Wood Elementary, and Fieler Elementary are finishing the renovation and expansion phase of work. All three buildings have been occupied throughout construction and disruption has been kept to a minimum due to extensive coordination and cooperation between the building principals and Envoy's site managers. Dr. Tony Lux and his central office staff had prepared well for these projects and deserve the credit for a smooth set of projects. There are no safety, schedule, budget or quality problems on these Merrillville projects.

SOUTH MONTGOMERY PROJECT

South Montgomery Junior / Senior High School is completing in the fall of 2006. The Jr. High and Sr. High will share a first class Auditorium and Field House. These projects were designed by Gibraltar Design and constructed using multiple primes. Dr. Bret Lewis has supervised these projects since their inception.

PERU SCHOOLS

The Peru High School and two elementary schools will finish renovation and expansion for the 2006 school year. Dr. Thomas McKaig and Mr. Steve Gough have represented the school corporation from the beginning and ushered these projects through all phases of the required process. The budget, schedule and high quality requirements have been accomplished.

MILL CREEK SCHOOLS

The Mill Creek High School, Middle School and West Elementary Schools are all completing for the 2006 school year. Dr. Sherida Brower has led these projects from the beginning through the end of construction. She has accomplished the budget, schedule and quality goals that her Board established in 2003.

HAMILTON COUNTY INDIANA

The Hamilton County Juvenile Justice Center is in the final stages and is well ahead of schedule and under budget. The facility was designed by RQAW, ACE and Paul I. Cripe. The Sheriff's Department will open the building in October 2006 and will welcome occupants in January 2007.

The Hamilton County Animal Shelter will open in the fall of 2006. This project was designed by Paul I. Cripe and will accommodate both the Hamilton County Humane Society and the Spay Neuter Clinic.

The Hamilton County Jail will be expanded and renovated to accommodate the remarkable growth in Hamilton County. The project will include food services, medical services, intake services, communication services and video services for the courts and visitation.

The new Hamilton County Community Corrections Center will commence in the fall of 2007 and will house 200 residents, as well as day reporting, night reporting and special classes for those that need services. This program is one of the most cost effective treatment programs available to the court system.

THE FOUNTAIN COUNTY JAIL

This new Fountain County Jail project is under remonstrance during July and August 2006.

DANVILLE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Danville has received state approval to continue on with a new 5/6 - 7/8 building that will accommodate 1200 students. This project is being designed by Schmidt Associates and should bid in December 2006. Special effort has been made to accomplish a budget set by the Danville School Board that will provide a new concept in Indiana School Buildings. We think the Dr. John McKinney inspired design will become a standard and used as an efficiency design by many schools in the future.
