The tri-venture of Pepper | GMA | ALL Construction has been selected to build the stadium, which will feature premium suites, food service and fan and player amenities.

In the fall of 2025, Pepper joined the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation (BCSC), along with community members and students, to officially break ground on Maple Grove Elementary School in Columbus, Indiana – the district’s first new elementary school since 1982. The school is being built in collaboration with Columbus-based Taylor Bros. Construction. The design, completed by Boston-based Höweler + Yoon, was funded through the Cummins Inc. Architecture Program, a 70-year-old endeavor that subsidizes the design of public projects to encourage architectural excellence in Bartholomew County.
Designed to support BCSC’s continued growth and commitment to high-quality STEM instruction, the two-story, 110,000 square-foot project will feature flexible classrooms, student common areas and wellness centers that enrich the educational experience for all students. Construction is ongoing and the school is scheduled to open in 2027.

In addition to enhancing efficiency, the expansion helps retain the company’s current workforce, reinforcing its role as a key economic contributor to the region.
Building on our decades-long partnership with Northwestern University, Pepper transformed outdated lab and office space into five state-of-the-art, LEED-certified science classrooms that support research efforts in fields such as neurobiology and genetics.

A standout feature is the terrazzo DNA-helix floor mosaic, which adds a unique, identity-rich element to the space. The design and installation required close collaboration between our MEP team, the architect and trade partners.
