Lumina Foundation is an independent, private foundation in Indianapolis that is committed to making opportunities for learning beyond high school available to all. In need of new HQ space to serve their mission, Lumina chose to relocate to the heart of Indianapolis’ newest downtown mixed-use district, Bottleworks, in the spring of 2024. The project was designed to foster inclusivity and collaboration for a nimble workforce from across the country.
The $4M project, was a collaborative effort between Lumina’s leadership team and the design team. DKGR served as the lead for architecture, interior design and FFE selection and coordination. The thoughtful planning and design of Lumina’s HQ are essential to the vital role the organization plays in the world of lifelong learning among all demographics. The design was centered around the concepts of equity-based design, diversity and universal design principles.
Lumina HQ’s design has served its purpose beautifully while accommodating a hybrid workforce from across the country. The space is truly a hub for equity, talent and innovation in the world of higher education. Nearing their mission’s 2025 goal, the design has set the stage for this world class organization to serve the next generation of educational entrepreneurs.
