The Allison Transmission Innovation Center is a 96,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility featuring enhanced product and technology development and validation capabilities. Allison Transmission is a leading designer and manufacturer of conventional, electric hybrid, and fully electric vehicle propulsion solutions, and the largest global manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty fully automatic transmissions.
The Innovation Center houses approximately 300 Allison Transmission team members. American Structurepoint designed the facility to consolidate engineering teams from multiple locations as they develop the next generation of commercial vehicle propulsion technology to support Allison’s mission of “improving the way the world works”.
The facility includes contemporary design concepts, including unique collaboration areas, natural lighting, a visitor’s experience center, and a vehicle display area showcasing Allison’s latest innovations. The American Structurepoint design team chose interior design components to promote innovation and collaboration for developing conventional and fully electric vehicle technology to meet the evolving needs of the markets Allison serves. The center incorporates Hoosier essence through materials and design from the surrounding campus and the nearby Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
To reinforce the community-campus feel, the center includes an employee café with an outdoor plaza area and a fourth- floor outdoor terrace offering a great view of downtown Speedway. American Structurepoint provided architecture, interior design, civil and structural engineering, landscape architecture, and traffic engineering services for the project.

The IU Health Frankfort Replacement Hospital design focuses on natural materials, intuitive wayfinding, timeless finishes, and efficient space layouts. Packed within 50,000 square feet are 12 inpatient beds, 10 private emergency department rooms, outpatient therapy services, lab, pharmacy, and dietary support services, and an operating suite. This is a full-service critical access hospital that is right sized for the community it serves.
A single daylit lobby with vaulted wood ceilings serves as the main waiting room and central hub for all services, as well as the dining space with a walk-up cafeteria. Multiple functions are delineated with furniture and material changes, maintaining sightlines of the open space to ground new arrivals. The most frequented services are located directly off this main lobby.
Laboratory services, surgical services, and patient registration can all be seen from the main entry doors. The additional services are located off a single cross-corridor, with periodic seating alcoves, a staff request to support the aging population served by the hospital. Department entrances are highlighted with wood wall panels and custom signage, identifying important landmarks.
At a very early stage, a timeless look which would last another 70-plus years of hospital operations was set as a design goal. The design team interpreted this through use of natural materials and design motifs inspired from the surrounding landscape of rural Indiana. Appealing to both the locality and the comfort of the patient, serene blues, natural greens, and warm grey dominate the visual field in the hospital. Warmth is provided through natural, clear-stained walnut wood, used on ceiling planes, accent paneling, doors, and department signage. Pops of brighter colors are found in artwork and some fabrics. As the building ages, the mood of the building can be adjusted by bringing different artwork or furniture, while the bones of the building remain timeless.

The Bethel Lehman Family Training Center was designed as a state-of-the-art training facility for the university’s athletes. Bethel University’s track and field teams hold several national titles and were looking for a space that would allow them to train together for practices. With high-end training equipment, six sprint track lanes, two pole vaulting areas, one high jump area, one throwing area for shot put and hammer throw, a sand pit for long jump, and a 100-meter sprint track that can be extended, athletes have everything they need to train together as a team and work towards more achievements.

The design of the project was intended to be modern while also tying into the rest of the campus, and to be efficient without sacrificing any functionality. Movement and motion are key design elements incorporated into the building. As one walks up to the Training Center, a gentle angle of windows and brick mimics the motion of a runner taking off from the starting block. The brick ties the building into the aesthetic of the campus, while the unique design gives the Training Center its own identity.
A wall of tall windows opens up into the pole vaulting and cardio/weight training area, bringing in natural light for the athletes. Entering the Training Center, you see bright, welcoming graphics in Bethel University’s royal blue. A comfortable sitting area that is a combination of stairs and bleachers leads up to a mezzanine, with a lounge and space for coaches to observe the athletes.

Also part of the addition is a boardroom (with AV), café, outdoor plazas, and a penthouse mechanical room.

Bashor Children’s Home is a not-for-profit child welfare agency affiliated with the United Methodist Church providing services to at-risk children for Elkhart County and throughout the state of Indiana. Bashor provides residential care, alternative education, and a variety of community-based services to children between five and 20 years old.
Through Elevatus’ experience designing safe, secure, and specialized facilities, the opportunity was presented to assist a local contractor in delivering this unique space for young victims of human trafficking. The two new buildings will enhance Bashor’s services and expand their program support to girls, more specifically those aged 13 to 18 years old.
The Healing and Recovery Unit will provide a safe, welcoming, and therapeutic healing space for young girls that have been victims of sex trafficking and sexual abuse. The new building has two identical spaces consisting of individual bedrooms, restrooms with showers, a living room space, a group meeting room with views of the beautiful pond, and a classroom.
The Support Building has two classrooms, a gymnasium, a cafeteria, a kitchen, calming room, and staff offices. It also includes an area used for the initial processing of some youth into the housing units. The outdoor recreation space features a basketball court and other areas for individuals to occupy. This facility will be a place where survivors of human trafficking can find safety, self-improvement, and success through various programs and intense treatment.

Daylighting has played an important role throughout the many improvements taking place at Hamilton Heights School Corporation (HHSC). Efforts were made to capitalize on natural daylighting in as many spaces as possible, including the new gymnasiums. In the daytime, expansive windows flood the athletic areas with natural light, and in the evening the glow from the activated building is clearly visible to those who drive by.

LANCER+BEEBE worked with the MSD of Wayne Township to develop a new look for its existing Administration Building. With growing business and technology departments, MSD of Wayne Township needed a new space plan to provide more room for employees and a better variety of space options – from large private meeting spaces to open office collaborative spaces.
Due to meeting frequency and drop-in visitors, LANCER+BEEBE designed spaces that easily transition from private workspaces to public meeting spaces, as well as clear wayfinding patterns. Existing building features were integrated into the design, creating a warm environment with lots of daylight and a modern aesthetic. Fun pops of purple and yellow were used on accent furniture and future signage to represent the school corporation brand.
The second floor features an existing open atrium to the floor below and utilizes a glass enclosed area to provide better noise control, all while maintaining visibility and natural lighting.

With access to healing gardens and walking paths, the hospital campus embodies the concept of treating the whole person. Every department was constructed using evidence-based design. The latest technologies are implemented throughout the facility. Due to ever-evolving care for patients and technological advancements, the hospital was designed to be flexible and allow for potential change and growth in the future.
The design and construction team had to overcome many challenges on this project, including the COVID-19 Pandemic. The project was successfully delivered, and the new IU Health Hospital in Bloomington began serving patients on December 5, 2021.
