American Structurepoint and Weigand Construction recently attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Noble County Annex Building in Albion, Indiana. American Structurepoint and Weigand Construction provided design and construction services for a $15 million, two-story, 40,000-square-foot annex building to the Noble County Courthouse.
The new annex will bring under one roof most of the county’s administrative offices which are currently spread out among several buildings. The annex building, completed in May 2022, has a 22,000-square-foot ground level, 18,000-square-foot upper level, and 6,000-square-foot storage sublevel. American Structurepoint provided program validation, schematic design, construction documents, bidding, and construction administration for the project as well as structural and civil engineering services.
Opened this June, the Emerging Manufacturing Collaboration Center (EMC2) in the 16 Tech Innovation District is designed to support the long-term growth of the state’s manufacturing industry. The $7.5 million, 60,000-square-foot hub provides collaboration space, training classrooms, and a testing center in which small-to-medium-sized innovators and entrepreneurs develop and adopt smart manufacturing technologies.
American Structurepoint provided concept programming, design development, construction documents, and construction administration to renovate an existing building at 16 Tech to house EMC2. The design team developed conference rooms, a multipurpose training room, light manufacturing space, a break room, large restroom/locker areas, a loading dock zone, and space for the first tenant in the building’s manufacturing side.
