If you happen to find yourself in Northwest Indiana anytime soon, be sure to look for a Hagerman trailer on the campus of Valparaiso University. Hagerman is currently the Design-Builder of the Valparaiso University Duesenberg Welcome Center on the south side of campus just south of the beautiful Chapel of the Resurrection. More on the Welcome Center in a minute….first a little lesson on the extensive history between The Hagerman Group and VU.
THG has been involved in numerous projects over the years on the campus of Valparaiso University. The most notable, however, would be the Chapel of the Resurrection. Completed in 1959, the Chapel is one of the more famous and notable structures in the city of Valparaiso and really in all of NW Indiana. In terms of beauty and distinctive architectural elements, it is unmatched.
The Welcome Center was started this past June and will be complete by May 2013. It is a roughly 15,000 SF structure that will serve the needs of current staff and prospective future students. It has office space, presentation areas, conference rooms, a beautiful lobby and waiting area, and the ability to host University functions that are catered. The site will include beautifully stamped concrete, outdoor patio areas, and a sidewalk that connects the entrance to the famous “Kissing Bridge”.
The project team consists of Hagerman Inc. as the Design Builder, Design Organization as architect, KJWW as the systems and structural engineer, GAI as the Civil Engineer, and Lakeshore Landscaping as the landscaping consultant.
