At South Adams High School, Elevatus was entrusted with revitalizing the tennis courts that serve not only the school but the entire community — a hub where everyone can play, learn, and connect. Years of heavy use had led to significant, unsafe cracking, requiring more than a simple repair. Our project team excavated down to the subsoil, addressed foundational issues with a full soil remediation, and rebuilt the courts layer by layer with durability in mind, from fresh gravel to the new asphalt surface. The enhancements didn’t stop there: we added California corners for optimized drainage and easier maintenance, and enclosed the courts with a durable, vinyl-coated fence for added safety and style. These courts are now ready for safe play, rain or shine, for years to come – for the Starfires, for the annual Swiss Days Tournament, or other play! Our firm was honored to create a resilient, lasting space for everyone who calls this community home. That's #DesignedToDoMore.

A new chapter begins for the City of New Haven! 🎉

Last month, Elevatus, Hagerman, and City of New Haven Indiana officials celebrated the completion of the addition and renovation project for the New Haven City Hall and Police Station.

The new spaces will yield greater collaboration and connection with community members and city employees.

Today we celebrate World Architecture Day and the impact architecture has on shaping the future. From schools that inspire learning to community spaces that support families and bring people together, our work is focused on creating environments that cultivate connection and collaboration. #DesignedToDoMore

Today, we celebrated the dedication of the Indiana Tech Zollner Engineering Center, home to the Talwar College of Engineering and Computer Sciences. This 70,000-square-foot project will inspire students, faculty, and the community for years to come.

Our team is proud to have played a key role in bringing this facility to life alongside Perkins+Will! #DesignedToDoMore

On this IT Professionals Day, we thank our IT Manager Austin Alexander! He's the real deal. As Mike mentioned in the video.

Thanks for keeping our systems running smoothly, Austin. 🙌

Elevatus provided exceptional leadership that was always available, always helpful, and with a client's architect frame of mind. All deliverables were delivered on time. In several cases, Elevatus provided deliverables in advance of deadlines and offered alternatives that saved the company additional money.

FWCS appreciates the thoughtful approach and client-centered focus that the Education Team at Elevatus brings to the design of our projects. As the modern K-12 environment evolves to meet the ever-changing needs of our students, Elevatus has continued to bring innovative design ideas to the table while maintaining a commitment to quality and long-term sustainability of the built product. The learning environments that we create today will continue to provide well for the needs of our staff, students, and community for many years to come.

When our County was looking for an architecture firm to help us with the process of building a new jail, Elevatus was an easy choice for me. This was a project entirely out of my skill set, but I knew we only had one chance to get it right. Their (Elevatus) knowledge and professionalism is unmatched.

Commissioner Theresa Baysinger

Whitley County Commissioner

Elevatus did an excellent job helping us navigate our project in Huntington, IN and developed architectural plans very timely and with an appreciated attention to every detail. We highly recommend this firm.

Justin Claud, Esq.

Chief Legal Officer, Boca Recovery Center

We have had nothing short of an amazing experience with Elevatus. Their team jumped right in and began planning with us right away, leaving no stone unturned from concept through our current state of approaching SD. Emily runs effective, informative and efficient meetings and always follows through with answers to questions that come up during the meeting.

Brandon Penrod, PhD

Chief Financial Officer, Wawasee Community Schools

Elevatus stays involved throughout the entire construction process. This high level of service is very important to us because things inevitably shift and change despite the best planning. We need them to stay involved so that our budget is not affected. In the end, our projects are delivered on time and on budget and Elevatus contributes to that "now expected" outcome.

Judy Roy

Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, Indiana Tech

I am delighted to express my utmost appreciation for the outstanding work that Elevatus Architecture has done in designing our new central office. Their innovative and thoughtful approach to the project will result in a state-of-the-art facility that exceeds our expectations. Their dedication to creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing space will greatly improve our administrative operations, and their professionalism and timely execution have made this a very enjoyable process. I wholeheartedly recommend Elevatus for their exceptional architectural services and look forward to potential future collaborations with them.
