November 5, 2009 marked the grand opening of the Ivy Tech Community College Center for Workforce and Economic Development in Greencastle, Indiana. InterDesign served as the architect of record, Demonica Kemper Architects served as the Programming Architect. The project started out as a 100,000 SF, $20M project, but the State reduced the budget to $8.2M. Private donations increased the total budget to about $8.7M. Needless to say, the building is considerably smaller than what was needed, so the program was divided into two phases and the site master planned to allow for future expansion.
Dan Ware of InterDesign presented at the Indiana Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (IAHSA) Spring Conference 2010 on March 23. His presentation, “State-of-the-Art Health Center Improves Quality of Life of Residents, Staff & Families” was developed with Tom Garman, CEO of Golden Years Homestead as a case study of his new Health Center designed by InterDesign. Dan presented design concepts to best facilitate “person-directed care” and provided an understanding of the benefits of “person-directed care” and living in “households” on quality of life.
