Some places just feel like summer.

We found our inspiration in the yellow of a lazy river inner tube, the red of the Monon Trail at golden hour, and the green of sun-warmed park grass. Introducing our unofficial summer color palette—inspired by the spaces that make the season worth savoring. 🩴☀️

Earning a landscape architecture license is more than passing exams. It's a commitment to growth, resilience, and lifelong learning.

For Stephanie Gates, the journey meant more than 1,500 hours of studying alongside peers from three different countries and 18 states, building connections that will last throughout her career. More importantly, it was an opportunity to deepen her knowledge, challenge herself, and grow through the process.

"Becoming licensed isn't an award or a gold star. It's something I've done with a large sense of pride because I know how hard I worked for it and how much I gained from the experience."

Join us in celebrating Stephanie and this incredible professional milestone.

There are only six HFDP-certified engineers in the state of Indiana.
Jim Walde is one of them.

Jim's achievement adds rare, regional distinction to the work we do in healthcare and to the clients who trust us with it. The Healthcare Facility Design Professional certification is a rigorous credential recognizing expertise in the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that make healthcare environments safe, efficient, and effective.

At Schmidt Associates, we believe exceptional healthcare design begins with people who bring both technical precision and genuine care to every project. Jim exemplifies that standard.

Join us in congratulating Jim on this outstanding achievement.

Big vision. Small steps. Unwavering mission.

The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth have served their community since 1822. When it came time to plan the next chapter of their Nazareth Campus, they did it with the same clarity and conviction that has defined them for two centuries.

From building renovations and infrastructure upgrades to improved wayfinding, solar development, landscape enhancements, and a long-term path toward geothermal energy, every project moves their vision forward with intention and purpose.

We are honored to support an organization that leads with such clarity and courage. Read how they keep a big vision moving forward: https://bit.ly/3R5CzbO

Stone walls. Wood ceiling beams. Warm finishes. And horses at the heart of it all. This is what healing looks like at Children's TherAplay.

The Children's TherAplay Foundation, Inc. had a bold vision: build a place children would look forward to coming to. A space where a therapy appointment felt less like an obligation and more like an adventure.

It was a privilege to help bring that vision to life in a space built entirely around the children and families who would walk through its doors.

Read the full story and hear from project manager Eddie Layton and interior design lead Kathryn Roche on how purpose-driven design built something truly built for them: https://bit.ly/4uFVsAI
