Fanning Howey, an architectural and engineering firm with nearly five decades of experience serving Indiana communities, is announcing that its Michigan City Indiana, office is moving to South Bend, Indiana. The move will take place effective March 15, 2010.

“The move to South Bend will allow Fanning Howey to better serve our clients in all parts of northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan,” said Executive Director J. Scott Winchester, AIA. “Our central location will benefit all clients: school districts, colleges and universities, public libraries and municipalities.”

The firm’s new address will be 130 S. Main Street, Suite 300, South Bend, Indiana 46601. More than 20 employees—including architects, engineers, and construction administrators—will be moving into the state-of-the-art facility in downtown South Bend.

Site selection and lease negotiations were facilitated by Dustin Looper of Resource Commercial Real Estate.

“After exhausting all options in Michigan City and suburban South Bend/Mishawaka, downtown South Bend provided the solution, both economically and subjectively,” Looper said.
