The Indiana State Archives project is currently under construction and will deliver a new five-story, 130,000-square-foot facility. Built on a constrained zero-lot site bordered by the Canal in downtown Indianapolis, an existing parking garage and two busy streets, the project requires careful planning and coordination. Once complete, the building will feature advanced architectural, structural and MEP systems designed to maintain precise UV light, humidity and temperature controls critical to preserving Indiana’s historical records.

Pepper uses QR codes and augmented reality tools to help bring projects to life for the public during construction. On projects such as the Indiana State Archives Buildings, QR codes are placed onsite allowing visitors to view future building imagery, explore 3D models or watch owner-prepared videos that introduce the project to the community. We have also guided students and educators through active job sites, using these tools to show what is being built and spark interest in construction careers, turning the construction process into an opportunity for education, transparency and community excitement.
