INDOT's Commitment to Design Integrity

As architects, Synthesis understands that every project begins with a vision, and that vision can evolve as design and construction progress. What made Clear Creek exceptional was INDOT’s unwavering commitment to preserving the project’s ambition and purpose.

From the beginning, INDOT recognized that this welcome center could be more than a rest stop. They championed a design that reflects our Hoosier culture, community, and history, a space that promotes tourism, celebrates state pride, and introduces travelers to Indiana’s spirit the moment they cross the border.

By supporting high design, INDOT affirmed that architecture can tell a story and represent the community within which it lives. Their leadership ensured that the final design remained bold, expressive, and true to its intent.

Synthesis is proud to collaborate with a client who values design excellence not just as a goal, but as a way to connect people and place. Clear Creek stands as proof of what’s possible when a public agency believes that thoughtful design serves both function and identity.
