The Match High School transforms a long-abandoned industrial warehouse into a vibrant, inclusive vocational high school serving Indianapolis’s near northwest side. Designed by DKGR with support from Matchbook Learning and Ameresco, the $20M project blends historic preservation with bold, modern design and sustainability—featuring rooftop solar, battery storage, and a creative reuse of the existing structure. Interior learning zones promote hands-on training, daylight, and flexibility. Bilingual signage, MWBE partnerships, and local hiring reflect deep community roots. Supported by innovative Department of Education and Energy funding, The Match is a beacon of equity, opportunity, and empowerment in an otherwise underserved neighborhood.
