Blackhawk Christian School

Fort Wayne, Indiana

  • Education
  • K–12

Blackhawk Christian High School’s fine arts programs had outgrown their space within the school’s existing building. Elevatus was hired to design a new addition to the school to serve the department and its students.

The 6,424 square foot addition will include four new fine arts classrooms, along with accompanying restroom facilities and essential support spaces. The project is highlighted by new, state-of-art spaces for art, band, and choir, empowering Blackhawk Christian High School to support and expand its fine arts programs.

The project’s design was not without obstacles. The design team was challenged to seamlessly integrate the new addition between two portions of the existing building. Overcoming this hurdle necessitated meticulous planning, innovative design strategies, and close collaboration with stakeholders to ensure harmonious integration while adhering to spatial constraints.

Blackhawk Christian High School’s new fine arts addition has been tailored to foster creativity, collaboration, and artistic expression among students. The wing will greatly enhance the school’s fine arts offerings, boasting state-of-the-art amenities and versatile spaces tailored to the unique needs of each discipline.

Through meticulous planning, creative problem-solving, and unwavering dedication to excellence, the Blackhawk Christian High School Fine Arts Addition project will leave a lasting legacy, shaping the educational landscape for years to come.

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.

A fresh chapter for @lochgroup in Fort Wayne. 👏

Their new office in Building 19 at @electricworksfw is a space filled with light, variety, and purpose. Every element supports their growth and energy while embracing the character of the building’s history.

We collaborated with @weigand.construction to craft a space that meets both purpose and place within one of the city’s most iconic campuses.

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.
