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.
This new section of Goshen High School has not only increased its capacity for class size but has also placed education administrators in a position to provide an advanced learning experience with even greater opportunities for students in their education journeys.
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.”
The law firm leases the second, third, and fourth floors of the building with River Park Leasing Corp, occupying the top floor and while a drive-thru coffee retailer and restaurant sit at the street level. Fourth and fifth floor terraces provide fresh air, city views, and green space to tenants. The basement level of the building can accommodate 21 cars and boasts a vehicle elevator, a unique feature that helps conserve precious square footage.

Watching the continued growth of the business sector has been rewarding, and Weigand Construction was thrilled to be selected to lead this landmark project, a critical component in South Bend’s ongoing economic surge.

The Henry County Jail functions as an expanded space that facilitates rehabilitation for inmates in the surrounding region. With Weigand serving as construction manager for this project, the team went to great lengths to create a facility that could fully house the operating staff, inmates, and administrative team all in one structure. Part of a relocation effort, the jail was moved from its original spot off North 12th Street in New Castle, Indiana. As a result, it now shares its campus with the New Castle Correctional Facility.
The jail now includes additions such as:
Space for 246 inmates
ADA cells
Interview rooms
Refitted kitchen
Laundry facilities
Weight room
Armory
Expanded garage space
Special security observation deck
Brand-new educational section
In the teaching area, instructors host classes on substance abuse. This is part of a new program that was requested and backed by many of the residents in Henry County.
This updated build brings with it some considerable enhancements. All of them intend to improve the quality of life for everyone in the facility. Hence, officers, healthcare workers, and office staff can effectively perform their work. Not only that, but it also strengthens communication within internal channels between the staff. The sheriff’s department at Henry County Jail is well-equipped to impact its community for the better. By focusing their resources on in-house development, they can help inmates reclaim their lives through security, education, and recovery.

These include:
Dermatology
Podiatry
OB/GYN
Orthopedics

The new office for their central operations, Ferguson Advertising relocated from West Berry Street to Electric Works at the beginning of 2023. As with the rest of campus, Weigand was responsible for the renovations needed to prepare the Ferguson’s space for a new era of innovation and forward thinking. After experiencing sizeable growth, which has led to three times the staff size, and serving the team at Electric Works as a client, the leadership at Ferguson made the decision to move.
WHAT’S THERE
This 10,777 square foot restoration job features a sprawling, comfy space including:
Open Office Layout
Cubicles
Convertible Meeting Room with Garage-Style Door
Open Seating/Collaborative Spaces
Separate Rooms with Additional Offices and Meeting Areas
Warmly lit, industrial look paired with a touch of modern design.
MAKING A NEW HOME
Because the campus is on the national registry of historical places, particular elements of the structure remained the same as the original building. Our team approached this by installing the exact windows used by General Electric and keeping the warehouse overhead cranes. Old materials besides the supports, brickwork, and masonry were stripped out. From here, any damaged or worn-down sections of the building were repaired, outfitted with new lighting, new access points, updated casework, and utilities. These processes created a new home for Ferguson Advertising to continue working with their clients for years to come.
