Apostolic Temple Church, located on Ironwood Drive in South Bend, IN and Architect/General Contractor Ancon Construction will begin Phase 1 of a building project which aims to improve building accessibility. The phased projects will have an initial focus on improving building accessibility.
Phase 1, overseen by Project Manager Ken Wright, will include a new entrance canopy, sloped concrete walk, expanded north lobby, and a new ADA restroom. “One of the most common ministry design challenge is overcoming barriers such as existing stairs/steps, lack of maneuvering clearance for wheel chairs, or original restrooms that do not meet current ADA compliance standards,” explains Ancon Designer Matthew VanSoest. “Solutions to these issues are typically very challenging since we have limited space to work with. We are dealing with existing conditions from the early to mid-1900’s and are trying to upgrade/modify many aspects of the built environment – bringing them to current standards and/or compliance.”

2/16/17-Progress update on the new restaurant concept going into Heritage Square in Granger, IN. Signs are up and interior demo has begun!
by Ryan Kring | Feb 13, 2017 | Ancon News
Primal Kitchen is a name you may not be familiar with…but if all goes as planned they could quickly become a household name. Thomas and Tara Olson are the local Mishawaka franchise owner’s of Primal Kitchen which is opening the first four locations nationwide, the first here in the heart of Michiana.
Heritage Square will be the new home of the first Primal Kitchen to open in the United States. The former New Balance location will be transformed to a quick casual farm to fork restaurant complete with a small retail store area where customers can purchase Primal Kitchen’s own line of specialty items such as mayo, natural granola bars and health supplements. Check out their shop page here to learn more about their products.
When asked why the Primal Kitchen concept appealed to them Tara Olson said, “From the moment we learned of the opportunity to be a part of this concept we knew it was something we had to do. The ability to offer the community a healthy option in a fast casual setting was very appealing to us. All of our ingredients will be organic and free of GMO’s. We will have a wonderfully diverse menu with something for everyone. Attached to the restaurant will be a dynamic grab and go cafe which boasts a coffee, juice and smoothie bar along with freshly made packaged chef specials which are perfect for the consumer on the go. Whether you are meeting friends for breakfast after your workout, grabbing lunch with your coworkers or joining us for your family dinner we know you will not be disappointed.”
Ancon Construction was chosen as the builder for this location. Ryan Kring, Vice President of Business Development, commented, “When we heard that Thomas and Tara chose us to build their restaurant we were very excited. Being the first location ever is like potentially building the first Panera or Chipolte …. who knows where this could go from here”. Kring went on to say, “Working with the national franchise, based out of Phoenix, has been a good experience. They know their brand and have a vision. We love taking their conceptual ideas and bringing them to life. We understand the trust they are giving us and we do not take it lightly”.

GOSHEN, IN-Ancon Construction, a premier design build construction firm serving northern Indiana & Southern Michigan, has announced they are expanding their options for PEMB (Pre-Engineered Metal Building) solutions in order to provide our customers with the best values, solutions and schedule. As part of this strategy Ancon Construction will not renew our partnership agreement with Butler Manufacturing in 2017. PEMB (Pre Engineered Metal Buildings) are used in a variety of Ancon’s manufacturing, commercial, retail and institutional projects.
Ryan Kring, Vice President of Business Development commented, “We feel that there are many quality PEMB suppliers that provide the same level of quality and service which Butler has provided us in the past. By not committing to one manufacturer it gives Ancon the flexibility to provide multiple options for our clients within a competitive environment.” Kring added, “Our clients today are savvy and want options. This move provides Ancon the flexibility to provide more offerings and options for our clients.”
