Lochmueller Group

Fort Wayne, Indiana

  • Businesses and Non-Profits

When Lochmueller Group’s Fort Wayne team began to outgrow its office, the search for a new space wasn’t just about adding square footage. It was about finding a location that matched their momentum and supported their evolving way of working. With continued growth ahead, the team needed room to expand, better options for collaboration, and a setting that energized their day-to-day.

The Electric Works campus checked every box, offering both convenience and character, with restaurants, services, and amenities just steps away.

To bring their vision to life within a historic industrial setting, Lochmueller turned to Elevatus. As the lead designer behind the campus-wide historic renovation and with prior experience designing other offices within the same building, Elevatus brought a deep understanding of how to balance preservation requirements with modern workplace needs.

The design team guided the client through the possibilities of the space, helping them make smart design decisions that embraced the building’s charm while supporting functionality. The result is an office space that feels tailored to how Lochmueller works. The layout introduces a range of environments, from team collaboration zones to focused single-user touch-down spaces. The scale of the building allowed for openness, light, and impressive views, all while preserving the integrity of the historic structure.

Lochmueller Group’s new office at Electric Works meets a need, but also reflects intention, identity, and an exciting chapter for a team on the rise.

We joined South Central Community School Corporation, Tonn & Blank Construction, and a dedicated community to cut the ribbon on the new South Central Student Activity Center.

From classrooms and restrooms to a renovated library and campus upgrades, this space will serve athletics, academics, and community events for years to come. Thank you to everyone whose vision, hard work, and heart made it possible.

FWCS appreciates the thoughtful approach and client-centered focus that the Education Team at Elevatus brings to the design of our projects. As the modern K-12 environment evolves to meet the ever-changing needs of our students, Elevatus has continued to bring innovative design ideas to the table while maintaining a commitment to quality and long-term sustainability of the built product. The learning environments that we create today will continue to provide well for the needs of our staff, students, and community for many years to come.

Heather Krebs

Capital Projects Coordinator, Fort Wayne Community Schools

I am delighted to express my utmost appreciation for the outstanding work that Elevatus Architecture has done in designing our new central office. Their innovative and thoughtful approach to the project will result in a state-of-the-art facility that exceeds our expectations. Their dedication to creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing space will greatly improve our administrative operations, and their professionalism and timely execution have made this a very enjoyable process. I wholeheartedly recommend Elevatus for their exceptional architectural services and look forward to potential future collaborations with them.

Wayne Barker

Superintendent, Northwest Allen County Schools

Elevatus stays involved throughout the entire construction process. This high level of service is very important to us because things inevitably shift and change despite the best planning. We need them to stay involved so that our budget is not affected. In the end, our projects are delivered on time and on budget and Elevatus contributes to that "now expected" outcome.

Judy Roy

Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, Indiana Tech

Elevatus did an excellent job helping us navigate our project in Huntington, IN and developed architectural plans very timely and with an appreciated attention to every detail. We highly recommend this firm.

Justin Claud, Esq.

Chief Legal Officer, Boca Recovery Center

When our County was looking for an architecture firm to help us with the process of building a new jail, Elevatus was an easy choice for me. This was a project entirely out of my skill set, but I knew we only had one chance to get it right. Their (Elevatus) knowledge and professionalism is unmatched.

Commissioner Theresa Baysinger

Whitley County Commissioner

Elevatus provided exceptional leadership that was always available, always helpful, and with a client's architect frame of mind. All deliverables were delivered on time. In several cases, Elevatus provided deliverables in advance of deadlines and offered alternatives that saved the company additional money.

Scott Fergusson

Founder, Chapman's Brewing Company

We have had nothing short of an amazing experience with Elevatus. Their team jumped right in and began planning with us right away, leaving no stone unturned from concept through our current state of approaching SD. Elevatus runs effective, informative and efficient meetings and always follows through with answers to questions that come up during the meeting.
