IU Health Bloomington Hospital
A Purpose-Built Setting
The new hospital goes beyond replacing an existing facility, offering an environment that supports practice, teaching, learning, and healing while elevating the quality of life for its community.
Designed for Experience
The result of a collaborative process with IU Health, project partners, and CSO, the new IU Health Bloomington Hospital provides a patient, family, physician and employee experience that is welcoming, intuitive, and serene.
CSO guided IU Health through a process for incorporating the work of regional artists.
Connecting the facility with its surroundings, art installations underscore IU Health’s commitment to cultivating community pride while enhancing the emotional wellbeing of those served by the facility.
Coordinating Finish, Form, and Art Into One Experience
With the budget in mind, designers combined building elements, finishes, and art in the form of unique mosaics in public spaces. Each mosaic was custom-designed using artwork submitted by local artists.

Read Hall
Teaching Kitchen Classroom Designed for Interactive Culinary-Style Instruction
Attached to the working kitchen, a student learning space with 5 team learning stations creates a classroom for approximately 20 to 25 students for demonstrations and hands on learning – similar to that found in a culinary program or school. All students can observe the work in the classroom, which is also equipped with video capabilities for recording and distance learning.
Team Collaboration Delivers Complex Kitchen Infrastructure Within a Historic Dormitory Framework
The design implementation challenges included the constraints of the space in a 1952 six-story residential dormitory building. Special skill was required to include seven exhaust hoods and make-up air equipment in an existing limited first floor space, with dormitory spaces above. The geometry of the available areas, a raised concrete floor area in the middle of the proposed kitchen, and the limits of the structural grid required a unique approach for the plan and equipment layouts. Through collaboration by team members and University staff, the project succeeded in meeting the working needs of the catering staff, despite the limits.

Joshi Performance Hall
Blending Acoustic Performance with Visual Warmth
Each element of the design supplements the integrated sound system, in order to achieve a harmonious balance of sound and “sparkle”. The formerly carpeted walls are now clad in rich wood paneling and acoustic diffusion systems which add physical and acoustical warmth to the space.
Sophisticated Textures and Color Create a Fully Immersive Experience
Deep red tapestry has been integrated into the side walls to add an air of sophistication to the space. All of the elements work together and create an experience for every patron, allowing them to be completely enveloped by the art being performed on stage.
A World‑Class Venue Designed for Performance, Education, and Recording
The performance hall provides a world class venue for chamber music, soloist, and small ensemble performances in addition to providing the use of state-of-the-art recording equipment for students and faculty.

Basketball Locker Room
Carefully Crafted Material Palette Reinforces IU Tradition and Iconic Branding While Creating an Energetic, Athlete-Focused Space
In order to meet the goals for the project, the design team incorporated wood, limestone, and back painted glass as the foundation of the finish palette. These finishes would serve as a clean backdrop to the iconic branding components found in the furnishings and implemented throughout the design. The overall composition created the motivational and energetic space required to attract new athletes, while reminding them of the honor involved in representing IU.
As a program we want our players to experience the best of the best, and as we took inventory on how we wanted to do things as a new staff, one of the things we really approached was a new area for our team and creating an environment that is cutting edge and second to none. I think that’s what we have been able to create here. “
–Coach Archie Miller

McNutt Quadrangle Dining Facility
Axial Windows and Curved Form Anchor McNutt Dining to the Central Green
Large windows are placed on axis with new green space created by North Housing. The new dining project is an anchor to this new central green. A large curved wall of the addition gives reverence to the new green spaces and follows the projected path students take as they transfer southeast to main campus. The new architecture of McNutt Dining is carefully knitted into the context of McNutt Quadrangle as well as the adjacent new housing project.
Modern Design Rooted in Tradition
The architectural expression of the new building addition is sympathetic to the existing Mid-Century Modern architecture of McNutt Quadrangle. Indiana ashlar limestone used on the existing building is used in the same application on the new addition.
A Micro‑Restaurant Dining Experience Supported by a Centralized Back‑of‑House
The micro-restaurant style dining concept includes ten different themed restaurant concepts, a new Starbucks, and a convenience store (C-Store). A centralized prep kitchen and dishwashing area, loading dock and other back-of-house spaces support the dining operations.
Expansion Creates a New Front Door to North Housing
CSO collaborated with Hanbury and BakerGroup on the design of this project.
