T
he Indiana Beta House Corporation commissioned a third
party to conduct a thorough inspection of the property to
ensure that the basic building structure was sound. Once this
was determined, certain long-term improvements were made,
including a new roof, gutters and eaves. Interior spaces were
repaired and the cold-air dorm was converted to study and
living space.
Subsequently, the Indiana Beta House Corporation has engaged
the architectural services of Keystone Architecture Inc. of
Indianapolis to develop plans for the addition to and renovation
of our chapter house that will address our long-term challenges.
Volunteers with a wealth of personal and professional experience
regarding construction and financing are involved to guide this
project. In all areas, the architect has been instructed to be
mindful of budget constraints, as well as mandatory building
and fire code requirements. In addition, we have placed a special
emphasis on the use of practical and durable building materials,
finishes, and fixtures to withstand high-volume use over a
number of years.
