In recognition of #SmartIrrigationMonth, we're proud to showcase our work at DePauw University's Ullem Center for Sustainability, where education, food production, and community engagement are fostered through hands-on sustainability and agricultural initiatives. This innovative building features dynamic mechanical, electrical, and plumbing designs, including a radiant floor heating system powered by three active solar UV collectors. These collectors generate up to 300,000 BTUs per solar day, converting UV rays into hydronic thermal energy, ensuring sustainable and efficient heating—even on cloudy days. KBSO’s commitment to sustainability extends to every aspect of our designs, ensuring that we use resources wisely and reduce environmental impact. Join us in celebrating smart irrigation and sustainable design practices that contribute to a greener future! #engineeringthekbsoway #engineering #mepengineering #mepdesign #MEPT #sustainability #solarenergy #greencastle #indiana  #greencastleindiana #depauw #highereducation Design Architect: arcDESIGN

As proclaimed by Indianapolis Mayor, Joe Hogsett – “It is only appropriate that a family center and a park born of segregation is now the largest, the best, the most prominent family center in all of Indianapolis, thank you METICULOUS ...” Congratulations to Indy Parks and Recreation on the grand opening of the Frederick Douglass Park Family Center in Indianapolis! This opening marks a significant milestone for Indy Parks & Recreation, the City of Indianapolis, residents, and our team. Hundreds of attendees were on site to celebrate this momentous occasion laying the framework for a new era of programs and services for the Martindale-Brightwood community and the Parks Department. We at METICULOUS are honored to be the Architect of Record for this groundbreaking project, which sets a new standard for Indy Parks & Recreation's commitment to enhancing its facilities. Spanning 45,000 square feet, this facility now stands as the largest within the 212-park system. Its design prioritizes connectivity to health and wellness through recreation programming, connectivity to nature, social interactions, and community cohesion. Named in honor of Frederick Douglass, the renowned African American abolitionist, writer, and social reformer, this family center embodies his values of education, community engagement, and empowerment. In collaboration with the community, our team has crafted a space that features art studios, classrooms, multipurpose rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness area, walking track, group exercise/dance studio, and a gymnasium with two full-court basketball courts. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Frederick Douglass Park the center's expanded playscape features an immersive balance between natural elements, musical inspiration and an array of engaging equipment for both kids and adults of all ages.

The Danville Readiness Center modernization transforms the existing 1950s-era Danville Armory into a more robust resource for our modern military. KBSO Consulting provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and low voltage technology (MEPT) design services for the renovation and expansion of the armory to approximately 16,000 square feet. Originally designed for smaller, predominantly single-gender units, the modernization replaces outdated equipment, deploying all-new MEPT systems to serve the existing building and its expanded footprint. Modifications were also made to restrooms and showers to address accessibility concerns, and the overall design was focused on sustainable design practices. The project aims to create a safe, comfortable, and efficient environment for National Guard members, fostering a fully functional and modern training facility. Through this revitalization, KBSO Consulting played a crucial role in ensuring the Readiness Center meets the evolving needs of the Indiana National Guard for years to come.
