CANstruction 2011 at the Indiana State Fair

CANstruction is the most unique food drive in the world—featuring structures created entirely of canned foods, each made to fit within a 10’x10’x8’ space.  The structures are designed and built by competing teams of Indiana architects, engineers, contractors, artists, designers and college students in related fields.

krM Architecture+ of Anderson, Fredericks Contractors of Pendleton and Somerset CPA’s of Indianapolis teamed up and with 3,204 cans, the Incredible Hulk emerged and quickly made a difference in the fight against hunger!

krM is pleased to announce that Brittany Brown has joined our staff as an Interior Designer.  Brittany graduated from Indiana State University with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design and the Savannah College of Art and Design with a MA in Historic Preservation. She is registered with the State of Indiana as a Qualified Professional in the area of Architectural History.

The design of the long anticipated Anderson Intermodal Transit Station will be completed in early July, 2011.  The City of Anderson Transit Service (CATS) will be based at the new station along with a new retail space, connection to the 'Trace' walking/bike trails and other future amenities.  This facility will connect the community to sustainable design through the use of materials, structure, light and details.  The project will be located on Main Street and is scheduled to be completed by the beginning 2012.

Our LEED APs have more letters behind their name! The USGBC (United States Green Building Council) has in recent months finalized a system where our Architects and Designers with the LEED-AP designation (Leadership in Education and Environmental Design Accredited Professional)  are invited to declare a specialty and participate in continuing education requirements per that specialty.  We are excited about this change as we believe it is continuing to ‘ratchet up’ the level of accountability and design excellence for sustainable design.  

Stuart M. Godfrey and Billy Van Elk attended cefpiConnect - the 2011 Midwest Great Lakes Regional Conference in Chicago.  The conference agenda focused on connecting ‘learning to design, designers to educators, educators to innovators, innovators to learners, learners to teaching, teaching to ideas, ideas to practice, and practice to action’.  Several educational thought leaders shared their ideas regarding the connection of new media and emerging technologies to creative learning communities.

CEFPI is a worldwide professional association whose sole mission is improving the places where children learn. 

krM Architecture+ is pleased to have completed the design for Anderson University's York Performance Hall and Galleries.  AU is excited to begin construction on their new 24,885 square foot Performance Hall addition to the existing Fine Arts building.  This hall will serve the campus' needs for a small to medium size venue for student performance with seating to accommodate 350 persons.  The proposed schedule is to start construction in the Summer of 2011 with a completion date of Spring 2012.
