Present to hear president Dr. Art Snyder open the building was the Design Collaborative team of Kevin Scully, Craig Scully, Chris Stine, and Lori Donovan. Engineering Resources, Inc provided civil and structural engineering. The new housing was built by Weigand Construction and will help meet the needs of Indiana Tech’s rapidly growing enrollment.

For the 16th consecutive year the architects and engineers of Design Collaborative designed and built a “work of art” to be auctioned at the SCAN (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect) annual auction being held on 8/27/2010 at IPFW. This year the team spent nights and weekends to come up with a 16’ hammock you see in the pictures below. Tim Terman and Kelly Shields led the DC team effort. Chad Shelton, Chadwick Designs, helped again this year by procuring the wood and using his hi-tech equipment to make the cuts.

DC gathered at 4:00 pm on Friday, July 30th, to give our friend Nick Knoblauch a true DC sendoff. Nick is leaving DC to complete his architectural education at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ. We will definitely miss Nick’s enthusiasm, spirit, and very weird vocabulary. Thanks to Nick we are now all familiar with “chillaxin”, “awesomeness”, “stoked”, and “BAZINGA!”. Stay in touch, Nick, er I mean “Dude”.


Architect Tim Terman spent a well-deserved week off playing golf and enjoying the Florida weather with wife Amy and her parents. Tim was welcomed back to his DC workspace on Monday morning with the sight of 700 balloons – in his workspace. He looks happy in the picture below doesn’t he? Tim quickly proved it takes a lot less time to burst 700 balloons than to fill them up.
