16 Tech is an innovation district on the near Northwest side of Indianapolis that focuses on the engagement of industry, civic, philanthropic and community leaders. Its mission is to create a place that inspires and facilitates industries of all sectors, researchers, entrepreneurs and academic leaders to pursue innovation.
DKGR was chosen to design the centerpiece of this ecosystem via the adaptive re-use and restoration of three existing structures previously built in 1959. Programmed uses include an artisan marketplace, commissary kitchen space and event venue in an old service garage , co-working space in a 3-story office building and a stand-alone maker-space to further reinforce the entrepreneurial spirit of the district.
