South Bend Tribune Office Space

Due to the changing world of communication, the South Bend Tribune needed to vacate its existing office space. JPR was engaged by the owner of the Renaissance District’s mixed-use project to assist in locating and designing an appropriate space for the business within Building 113 at the former Studebaker Automobile Factory. The new tenant required both an open concept design and private offices to be utilized as meeting areas for its relocated staff.

The new space, with a footprint of approximately 16,500 square feet, is comprised of both open and enclosed mixed-use areas. The open layout benefits from large exterior windows spilling natural light into the office. Custom workstations not only provide staff with an efficient workspace, but also offer visual interest and acoustic privacy. An enclosed breakroom with a kitchenette is located within the tenant space, as well as conference rooms – both large and small – and private offices for supervisors. Several private rooms are also provided for digital media production, such as podcasts and digital photography.

Overall, the building is designed to be modular and flexible, providing the option to expand or contract the tenant space as business evolves.

JPR was able to balance the tenant’s vision with the unique vision of the District, providing South Bend Tribune with a bright and collaborative environment.
