The Challenge

Two local cultural institutions were considering separate new buildings on the outskirts of town. The Jasper Public Library and Arts Center of Jasper had their own buildings, parking areas and donors. The downtown Master Plan identified three former mills downtown near the Patoka River in need of reinvention.

OUR RESPONSE

The Jasper Mill rehabilitation capitalizes on the city’s industrial heritage. Cultural, commercial and residential functions coalesce around courtyards that bring natural light into the complex.
