Built to expand classrooms, create additional study spaces, install new technology, and renovate existing square footage, the Goshen High School Expansion and Renovation Project has given teaching staff and administrators the rooms and resources to better support a strengthened learning experience. Subjects like Art, Engineering and Manufacturing, Building Trades, Math, and Science received extra space along with updates to their existing rooms with new and improved equipment.
Another corridor was added to help with the flow of foot traffic in the school so students can travel from class to class with less congestion in the hallways. A study space known as the Learning Commons was also constructed as a place for students to research, do homework, work on group projects, have meetings, and much more.

Located at the southwest corner of Main Street and Jefferson Boulevard across from the federal courthouse in downtown South Bend, Indiana, The Barnes and Thornburg Building lands in the heart of the city’s business core, which puts it within walking distance of Weigand South Bend Office. As the first new Class A office structure in over 20 years, 64,000 square foot facility has generated much excitement in the Michiana community. During the official groundbreaking for this five-story modern glass and steel structure, Lou Hansell, managing partner of Bald Mountain LLC, noted that, “It is gratifying to see Barnes & Thornburg’s long-term dedication to a project that will accelerate South Bend’s position as a professional destination.”
