Month: May 2026

The Westin Indianapolis Airport Hotel has reached a key construction milestone.

Project partners celebrated the project’s topping-out ceremony on May 14, marking the placement of the highest structural beam and completion of the building’s frame.

Led by the Indianapolis Airport Authority, Shiel Sexton, CSO, and project collaborators, the moment reflects the collective effort of more than 100 Indiana companies contributing to the development.

With the structure complete, work now shifts to enclosure and interior build-out, bringing the 253-room hotel—featuring meeting space, dining, and direct terminal access—closer to its late 2027 opening.

Designed as a seamless extension of the airport campus, the hotel will serve as a new front door to Indianapolis, enhancing convenience for travelers while strengthening the region’s economic and civic infrastructure.

CSO recently joined Butler University and its extended campus community to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Safety and Transit Hub, marking an important step in the evolution of Butler’s campus.

Envisioned as more than a single facility, the Hub is designed to support how people arrive at, move through, and connect with Butler and the surrounding Midtown neighborhoods. The project brings together transit functions, safety operations, and sustainable infrastructure to create a welcoming gateway that works at both a campus and city scale.

As Butler’s design partner, CSO is proud to continue a trusted, long‑term relationship with the University, helping translate institutional goals into built environments that reflect Butler’s values and future aspirations. The Safety and Transit Hub advances Butler’s broader Gateway Project, reinforcing connections between campus and community while supporting daily campus life through thoughtful, integrated design.

Construction is now underway, and CSO looks forward to seeing this next chapter take shape alongside our partners at Butler.
