The Science Complex Renovation and Expansion project at Butler University is all about connections. At the most literal level, the project connects two 70s-era buildings – Gallahue Hall and Holcomb Building – without erasing their distinctive international style. But it also calls for gathering dispersed departments and programs under one roof, marrying historically significant science programs with modern lab and classroom facilities, and creating spaces where students and faculty can collaborate both formally and informally.

After working with Greencastle Community School Corporation on a comprehensive facilities study, krM Architecture has been moving forward with the school system on the design work for various improvements across all six facilities. The $32 million dollar bond will touch all school buildings in the corporation, most notably, the high school.
Improvements at the high school will include a new expansion which acts as a connector between the main GHS building and McAnally Center, the school’s dedicated athletic center. The design will add modern flexible space as well as new gym space to support both existing buildings. Additional improvements will focus on upgrades to the science department, media center, locker rooms and core classroom areas to position Greencastle schools at the forefront of education.
The first major round of upgrades is set to bid in early in early December. This work will include the high school labs, media center, connector, off-site baseball and softball fields, and McAnally locker, weight and wrestling rooms. Work on these projects, which promise to be the most extensive of the upgrades, will continue between the second half of 2022 and mid-2023. Work at the middle school and elementary schools, as well as on the high school parking lot, should commence in the spring of 2022.

With community input, the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township developed a Blue-Ribbon Facilities Plan and goals of keeping buildings updated and secure while creating spaces mindful of physical and mental well-being. As part of the plan, the district has invested over $174 million in capital improvement projects since 2015. The latest of these projects is a state-of-the-art, seamless and integrated transportation facility that was designed by Schmidt Associates. In addition to creating a sense of security and well-being by establishing clear and separated student, parent, bus and visitor traffic circulation, parking and entry points, the facility was purposely designed for 24/7 usage with the zoning of activities for in and outside of the building.
