Saving The Stutz

Online Lecture

Join us on Zoom for a one-hour lecture and Q&A to learn about the preservation of the historic Stutz Building.

The historic Stutz Building covers over three acres in downtown Indianapolis and represents a storied and eclectic history since opening in 1914. Throughout its life, the Stutz Building has served many uses, though perhaps best known as the home of the famous Bearcat that raced in the Indianapolis 500 and embodied the rich and famous of the Jazz Age. Today The Stutz is undergoing a major rehabilitation that combines museum, retail, dining, and workspace. Learn how the revisioning and reimagining of the building allowed the architectural and engineering design team to manage typical and unique challenges.

The preservation of the Historic Stutz Building is an important milestone in the history of this building, and the city of Indianapolis, and will be a great resource for the evolution of this part of the city.

Presented by: Bill Eisler, Executive Vice President and Mechanical Designer, R.E. Dimond and Associates; and Paul Siota, Electrical Engineer, R.E. Dimond and Associates.
