MSKTD & Associates

Paul Lindsay, MSKTD Principal, co-leads the Hygienic Design Team, but he also oversees historical preservation projects. What common thread can make such diverse projects successful? Communication! "You might be the best designer in the world, but if you can't successfully and clearly communicate your ideas to a client or contractor, it’s a domino effect and everything becomes much harder." Learn more about Paul's insight and unique journey to MSKTD in the July issue of Business People Magazine. #msktd #msktdbydesign #hygienicfacilitydesign #historicpreservation #communication

The use of prefabrication can offer tangible benefits, most notably reducing onsite construction disruptions, but it’s not the right decision for every project. Read our Design Journal to get a better understanding of the pros and cons of prefabrication as it relates to health care projects. https://lnkd.in/eN2u6Xgk #HealthcareDesign #Prefabrication #MSKTD

This MSKTD team specializes in NOT promoting their latest projects—both publicly and even within the firm. Go to our Design Journal to learn how confidentiality can be a make-or-break benchmark of a project’s success. https://lnkd.in/eyqd8tPN #HygienicFacilityDesign #AdvancedManufacturing #MSKTD

A client’s vision can only be actualized when the architect is able to start the project by listening without preconceptions. Bob Patton is that architect and he is always up for the challenge. He continues to lend his creative solutions and project management skills on some of the most recognizable buildings in Fort Wayne. Go behind the designs and learn more about Bob’s approach. https://lnkd.in/gVhqEqmw

Opened in 1877, University Hall is the oldest building on the Purdue University West Lafayette Campus. On June 18, four steel columns were lowered through the roof and placed into their final positions. These columns will allow the second floor to be removed creating a two-story atrium space for gathering and collaboration, much like the building’s original library space provided. MSKTD in collaboration with WORKSHOP ARCHITECTS and Fink Roberts & Petrie, Inc. designed a complete restoration of University Hall that will modernize it for the Purdue University College of Liberal Arts students while honoring John Purdue’s vision for the building. Kettelhut Construction is expected to complete the building by July 2025. #HigherEd #HistoricBuilding #Restoration

At the recent Greater Fort Wayne Inc. Annual meeting, they recognized the Ash Brokerage Skyline Plaza as a “Bold Project” that changed the Fort Wayne skyline. And in a flash we are celebrating 10 years since the groundbreaking of Tim Ash’s vision and the incredible downtown growth that has since ensued. Thank you to all the change makers who believe in and support our community, so that we can continue to live, work, and thrive in a place so many of us call “home”. Go to our Design Journal to discover how this watershed project was brought to life to bring momentum to downtown Fort Wayne. #MSKTDbyDesign #FullService #LocalCollaboration #DowntownFortWayne #10yrAnniversary

This building was once a Taco Bell that stood empty for over 5 years. Periolat Family Dentistry saw its potential and brought it back to life to proudly serve North Manchester, Indiana. #MSKTDbyDesign #ArchitectureDesign #MEP #Structural #Civil #InteriorDesign #LandscapeDesign #ProjectManagement Construction Management Schenkel Construction Inc.

Landscape architecture offers invaluable mental health, economic, social, and environmental benefits. Beyond plants, shrubs, trees, and curb appeal, the “architecture” aspect encompasses all outdoor spaces of a building—from parking lots to playgrounds and from built-in meeting areas to walkways leading to quiet space. In today’s projects, it’s no longer a nicety, it’s a necessity to have these spaces. “User experience” is a differentiator for any type of build and across all industries. It’s not just for websites.   Check out our Design Journal to discover how landscape architecture can and should be integrated into your next project. #MSKTD #MSKTDbyDesign #LandscapeArchitecture #FullServiceDesignFirm

💦 Did you know a civil engineer figured out how to make the water slide work? ⚡️And we can all think of 1 or 2 "things" electrical engineers have devised. 🤯 The ingenuity and capabilities of engineers make the world way more interesting. Congratulations to both Ashley McCoy and Caleb Isley for graduating from Purdue University Fort Wayne with their respective engineering degrees. You are already doing great things! #GraduateAndCelebrate #MSKTD

Community over corridors—In addition to connectivity, students are bringing a unique set of desired experiences and expectations to the college search. While cost is still the number one factor in seeking a post-secondary education, students consistently rank housing as one of their top considerations when deciding where to go to school. That means there is a need to adapt to these prerequisites. Check out our blog to learn more about the “Top 5 On-campus Housing Design Trends”. #LiveLearning #CampusHousingTrends #MSKTDbyDesign #MSKTD
