Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Hospital and Eskenazi Health Downtown Campus “The new Eskenazi Health campus is also on pace to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design® (LEED) Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for the entire campus. This distinction that would make it the first such health campus in the United States registered publicly in the national LEED® database. The campus will feature a first-of-its-kind sky farm on the rooftop of the Outpatient Care Center. The sky farm will grow fresh produce which will be made available to patients and visitors through campus dining options. Eskenazi Health’s design also heavily incorporates natural light and utilizes a rainwater landscape irrigation system, among many environmental and energy efficient components. The campus features an array of employee- and visitor-focused amenities to encourage environmentally responsible transportation, recycling and other sustainable practices. In addition to the new downtown hospital and health system campus, Eskenazi Health West 38th Street, a new community health center, is also pursuing LEED® Silver certification. In addition to numerous design and energy efficiency components, the facility will feature a large rain garden and walking track.” Fagerdala Global Packaging Plant (Plainfield, IN) Since 1983, Fagerdala Singapore has provided a comprehensive range of total protective packaging solutions to customers worldwide.

The Hall, featuring People for Urban Progress and Indianapolis DMD (Downtown Indianapolis) “After years of sitting vacant, the old City Hall building in downtown Indianapolis is seeing new purpose. The building was built more than 100 years ago and has been many things to many people over the years. Now, after a period of closure, it is undergoing a rebirth - a mini-renovation. One half of the building will house meeting areas and spaces that will serve as a gallery to display artwork and plans for the city. There’s no doubt the architecture, design and materials used in the building are part of what give it its class. That’s why the city has hired the People for Urban Progress to incorporate some of the materials into the new design for the renovation. ‘It’s a lot of scouring the building and finding things that were removed for whatever reason. We found some old door frames that we’re pulling out. We found an amazing old safe that we’re hoping to use as a podium,’ said Michael Bricker, People for Urban Progress. ‘There’s just a lot of history throughout the building tucked in corners and it’s been moved around so many different times and we’re hoping to bring it out so it can see the light of day again.’” Tour pricing: $15 (conference attendee), $25 (non-conference attendee), $40 late/walk-in as space allows
