Fishers Parks Community Center

Fishers Parks Community Center Fishers, Indiana This new 105,000 square foot recreation center will be a gathering space for residents, bringing the community together through health and wellness with amenities including a large indoor playground, indoor track, dog park, aquatics facility with a 2-story waterslide, and cafe. The center will also be the new home of the Fishers Health Department and Outside The Box’s adult day program to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. RQAW | DCCM played an advisory role during the Design Development Phase of this project. The primary responsibility emerged during the Construction Document Phase, where the team documented the exterior facade of the building which encompassed various elements including roof plans, exterior elevations, storefront/curtainwall details, building sections, wall sections, exterior shell detailing, precast panel elevations, and ComCheck. Additionally, RQAW | DCCM attended the on-site meetings and prepared field reports. During the construction phase, we reviewed exterior envelope submittals. Construction is set to be completed in the fall of 2025. Rendering Credit: Williams Architects 

Griffith Town Hall & Police Station

Griffith Town Hall & Police Station Griffith, Indiana RQAW | DCCM is currently designing a new two-story Town Hall and Police Station for the Town of Griffith.

Airport Road Realignment

Airport Road Realignment INDOT Vincennes District RQAW | DCCM provided the contract administration and construction inspection for the $7.9M INDOT RS-40753 roadway realignment and reconstruction project near French Lick. The project included extensive geotechnical considerations, including rock coring, embankment foundation pilings, horizontal drains, and inclinometers. Our construction management team provided oversight and inspection services for these geotechnical mitigations, along with extensive soil and rock embankment construction, chemically modified subgrade treatment construction, full-depth QC/QA HMA paving, and stormwater quality permit installations. 

Elkhorn Road Reconstruction

Elkhorn Road Reconstruction Knox County, Indiana RQAW | DCCM led this recently completed project, which involved the reconstruction of Elkhorn Road from the eastern side of the Elkhorn Road/US 41 intersection to the CSX Railroad crossing, approximately 730 feet northeast of the Elkhorn Road/Beckes Lane intersection. This road reconstruction project also involved realigning the Elkhorn Road/South Decker Road intersection, reconstructing roadside ditches, and replacing a large pipe with a 272-ft long 16-ft x 5-ft concrete box structure. RQAW | DCCM completed this project’s design and hydraulics, which opened in November of 2022.  RQAW | DCCM’s environmental staff also completed this project’s CE-2 environmental document and public involvement process due to permanent right-of-way exceeding 0.5 acres and stream impacts exceeding 300 linear feet. The environmental and design teams worked closely to assess the project’s environmental impacts accurately.

McCordsville Police Station Headquarters

McCordsville Police Station Headquarters McCordsville, Indiana The new McCordsville Police Headquarters serves as a cornerstone for the development of its rapidly growing community. Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including an indoor gun range, fitness room, and community training room, this building inspires its users to enhance their readiness and training for active duty. The design team has meticulously planned for a 20-year growth trajectory with this new headquarters, aligning it with McCordsville’s ongoing evolution as a town.  Strategically situated on the south side of the emerging town square, the location of the headquarters reflects the town’s commitment to emphasizing public safety within the community. This positioning underscores the vital role that law enforcement plays in safeguarding and enhancing the well-being of McCordsville’s residents. 

Overley-Worman Park Pedestrian Bridge

Overley-Worman Park Pedestrian Bridge Zionsville, Indiana The Overley-Worman Park Pedestrian Bridge is located in a new re-purposed 53-acre park bounded by Eagle Creek, the Big-4 Rail Trail, the Vonterra Development, and I-865. The park features multi-use trails, a playground, picnic shelters, restrooms, woodland and creek overlooks, a fishing pond, mountain bike trails, and a disc golf course. Visitors can enter the park from the north Big-4 Rail Trail by crossing the new pedestrian bridge and onto one of Overley-Worman Park’s multi-use paths. The structure is a 200-ft. long single-span truss bridge with a 10-ft. width, supported by helical pile abutments. The bridge’s design blends into the park’s aesthetic by using a natural color scheme and a decorative faux stone veneer installed on the abutments. Completed 2022 Award ACEC State Finalist

Nowland Avenue Bridge

Nowland Avenue Bridge Indianapolis, Indiana RQAW | DCCM provided bridge design, environmental, and historic architectural services for the Nowland Avenue Bridge over Pogue’s Run rehabilitation. Built in 1903, Nowland Avenue Bridge is one of Daniel B. Luten’s oldest structures in Indianapolis; however, the bridge was closed to all traffic due to decades of use and safety concerns. To restore the bridge, RQAW | DCCM provided design for superstructure and arch repair, roadway surface replacement, spandrel wall replacement, stabilization of the structure’s bank, drainage systems improvements, and updating railing and trail to meet ADA and AASHTO standards. Our team worked alongside the Indiana SHPO throughout the design process and coordinated heavily with the Pathways over Pogue’s group to provide a safe pedestrian crossing while conserving the structure’s significant historical elements. Completed 2023 Award ACEC Merit Award

North Ellipse

North Ellipse Fishers, Indiana Modern build-to-suit office spaces for a booming community Challenge: Demand for commercial and residential spaces continued to grow. City officials needed building space that combined commercial office and residential living space to keep pace with local demand. Solution: The City of Fishers provided a 10-year tax abatement in conjunction with RQAW | DCCM to develop the 4-story North Ellipse commercial building. Located in the acclaimed Nickel Plate District of the City of Fishers, the 45,000-sf steel-framed structure includes build-to-suit office spaces, now occupied by tenants who provide everything from yoga to tech services. RQAW | DCCM has assisted each tenant in designing their customized spaces. The facility also includes public parking and soothing greenspaces for local pedestrians and building occupants. The shell space was tenant-ready in the spring of 2020 and is now completely occupied. This project was successfully delivered through a Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT) agreement, an arrangement between private development companies and municipalities offering significant benefits and flexibility to both parties.  Completed 2020 Size  45,000-sf

Main Street & 4th Avenue Roundabout

Main Street & 4th Avenue Roundabout Carmel, Indiana This roundabout is located near a public library, school, and archway leading into the Carmel Arts & Design District; therefore, the geometry needed to be as small as possible to eliminate impacts to these areas while still allowing for school buses and emergency vehicles to make all necessary movements. Through our design, we were able to ensure that all turning movements and sight distance needs were met while minimizing the required right-of-way for construction. 

Redbird State Recreation Access Roadway

Redbird State Recreation Area Access Roadway INDOT Vincennes District This access roadway reconstruction project is within the Greene-Sullivan State Forest and the Redbird State Recreation Area. The project consisted of 7-ft to 11-ft wide travel lanes with 2-ft wide paved and 3-ft wide useable shoulders, resurfacing one county bridge deck, installing new guardrail, and replacing four existing small structures and several small drainage pipes. Four palustrine emergent and three palustrine forested wetlands were identified and delineated as well as 10 jurisdictional streams. RQAW | DCCM completed the State EA document and worked closely with the designers to remove several planned roadside ditches to avoid/minimize impacts to wetlands throughout the project.
