Design Collaborative

On Wednesday, January 13th, Indiana Wesleyan University dedicated their new 3,800 seat  Chapel-Auditorium.  The Chapel is the largest construction project in IWU history and was built to support the university’s mission of developing “World Changers”.   Kevin Scully led the Design Collaborative team, which included Jeremy Koomler, Ryan Birkey, Meri Everett, Brian Andrews, Terry Wagner, Katie Papagiannis, Eric Sank and David West. 

DC is thankful and proud to be part of the IWU family.

Registered Architect Jeremy Koomler, NCARB, LEED AP was recently promoted to Associate Partner at Design Collaborative.  Jeremy joined Design Collaborative in 2002 and he has managed many higher education projects, including the Indiana Wesleyan University Chapel-Auditorium (2009), Heidelberg University Athletic Fields (2008), Andrews University Campus Center Renovation (2008), and Indiana Wesleyan University Elder Hall (2007).

Design Collaborative celebrated its 18th anniversary on January 2, 2010.  Founding DC Partners Ron Dick, Pat Pasterick and Terry Wagner started the firm in 1992 with a vision to “Improve People’s Worlds”. 

DC is living that vision today with a staff of 37 architects, engineers and designers dedicated to improving people’s worlds and serving our clients.  Below are photos of our founders now…and then.
