We began our relationship with Goodwill Industries 30 years ago and have built a strong partnership based on trust, communication, and collaboration. Recently we designed and built the new 105,000 square-foot campus in Gary, Indiana, which created 100 new jobs. The new facility is rolling out a unique retail shopping experience where you buy “By The Pound.” The facility has an Excel Charter School that provides a free opportunity to earn a high school education for adults eighteen and older, as well as a Career Center. The beautiful campus, created a retail component and brought in new jobs, provides compassion for the community, education, and a great bargain shopping experience.

The project consisted of a new classroom wing addition to the existing school. Careful attention to exterior materials, brick detailing, and window repetition aesthetically tie the addition to the existing building.

“The Ancon Design team took the time to listen to my vision. As a first-time franchise owner entering the education market, I challenged the Ancon Design team to design a completely different building from all other Goddards across the country. I wanted a modern yet homey feel. Their team engaged me throughout the entire design process. The result was a stunning building that kids are excited to come to each day. The design has gained national attention. We have had franchisees fly in from across the country to tour my facility. I would highly recommend the Ancon team to anyone who wants to see their vision come to life”.

We designed and renovated 60,000 square feet, two floors, and added 32,000 square feet to an existing Bayer building. The total project was approximately 6 million. An excellent example of combining the renovation of a 50+ year old building and incorporating a new construction addition to blend the past with the future. Use of bold color and movable glass walls allow for building flexibility whether it be for teaching or having a robotics competition.
“We are very pleased with the finished product from Ancon. Throughout the process Ancon was very attuned to the changes and modifications we wanted. Ancon’s architectural team was excellent in providing creative ideas throughout the project.”
