Bring Your Kids to Work Day was a hit! At Browning Day, we believe in sharing our passion for design with all ages.

We asked some of our young guests, “What’s cool about Browning Day?” One of the best responses: “the food!” (said mid-spoonful of an ice cream sundae).

Check out their adorable answers and moments from their day at the office.

WHERE TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION 🏁

Browning Day was given the opportunity to design a new control tower with additional program elements of hospitality and media in the early nineties. The creation of the IndyCar League in the mid-nineties provided a pause in our work, and the opportunity for the League to get established.

During that hiatus, we happened to have a conversation with Hulman-George family which explored the historical importance of the Pagoda to the brickyard. From that conversation, the curiosity of a modern interpretation was born.

Merging tradition with innovation, our work reinterpreted a traditional pagoda form while embracing the modern form of the 50’s tower to give rise to the Pagoda as we know it - perhaps one of the most iconic buildings in motorsport. Standing tall as a symbol of the importance of heritage, the Pagoda marks the start-finish line as the Cathedral of Speed.

As we gear up for this weekend's race, join us in remembering the legacy of racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

The White River Greenway North Extension project is underway! In partnership with Conner Prairie, this expansion will add over five miles of trails, an iconic river overlook, parking, and restrooms - celebrating and elevating the region’s most precious natural resource – the White River. Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation

🌳🏆 We're continuing to build upon our award-winning parks and green spaces!

One project that is currently underway is the White River Greenway North Extension:

"The project includes extending the greenway north to 146th Street as well as the construction of a river overlook, parking lot and year-round restrooms. Once complete, the White River Greenway will span over five miles in Carmel. The project is in partnership with Prairie and is part of a regional effort to expand the greenway and turn attention toward the area’s most significant natural resource—the White River." - Clay Parks & Recreation

Exceptional design prioritizes the holistic health and wellbeing of individuals, communities, and our shared home. By considering the needs of occupants and pursuing sustainability in our work, design becomes a powerful tool to encourage flourishing, growth, and connection.

'The Backyard' at First Internet Bank reimagines urban landscapes, offering employees a dynamic 20,000 square-foot outdoor sanctuary to recharge, connect, and thrive. Situated atop a parking garage in downtown Fishers, the space is designed to cater to various needs of employees, with distinct zones for quiet reflection, social gatherings, and recreational activities.

The Center for Innovation fosters creativity and productivity amidst a 30-acre woodland. From centralized 'incubating' spaces where ideas can flourish to flexible work areas that encourage movement and connection, every aspect of The Center's design is tailored to support the wellbeing of its users. As the first dual-certified LEED/SITES project in Indiana (and the very first SITES achievement in the state), a large portion of the design was focused on managing stormwater including a new blend of porous asphalt pavement, rain gardens, vegetated swales, filtering forebays, planted littoral edged ponds, and the enhancement of an existing wetland.

At Browning Day, a wellness-oriented design approach means creating environments which empower individuals to thrive, while also honoring and regenerating the natural world around us.

Riverside Promenade is a testament to the transformative power of landscape architecture in fostering community connection. Running along the east side of the park from 16th Street to the 29th Street bridge, the promenade anchors a network of pathways and popular gathering spaces, including the White River Trail, Taggart Memorial Amphitheatre and Central Canal Trail. More than just a walkway, this cultural heritage corridor bridges the past and present, weaving together the diverse stories and traditions of Riverside's historic neighborhoods.

Throughout the planning and design process, Browning Day prioritized community input, ensuring that every voice was heard and woven into the fabric of the final design. We invite the community—both in Riverside and greater Indianapolis—to continue engaging with us, shaping the ongoing evolution of our shared spaces. Let's walk together, embracing connection and community every step of the way.

The groundbreaking ceremony of the Endress+Hauser Innovation Center and George E Booth Co., LLC Headquarters marked the culmination of a rigorous and challenging design process to create this new flagship facility in Greenwood, Indiana. The Innovation Center, which will serve as the new gateway to the Endress + Hauser campus, brings together various on-campus Endress + Hauser teams and the George E. Booth staff under one new roof.

Endress + Hauser has had a clear vision from the beginning of the project to offer this new building as a gift to their employees, providing them with a space to promote collaboration and creativity. Towards that goal, the Innovation Center features modern office facilities visually connected to the light industrial functions, a smart classroom, a STEM workforce development maker space, and various collaboration spaces.

The new building will also prioritize clean energy strategies, such as geothermal and a rooftop photovoltaic array, to minimize its embodied carbon and promote Endress + Hauser's mission of leadership in energy transformation. Browning Day and our partners have worked thoughtfully to design a building that is environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and cost-effective.

Browning Day is proud to partner with Endress + Hauser and George E. Booth to design this workspace focused on the spirit of team partnership, sustainability, innovation, and creativity. This project will provide employees, visitors, and the community access to a class-leading facility in Indiana.

You can read more about the project on the Endress + Hauser website. https://www.us.endress.com/en/press-center/news-and-press-releases/endress-hauser-building-groundbreaking

IUPUI sought to reimagine how education, cross-collaboration, and research could take place in a single building. Three STEM powerhouse schools - the School of Science, the School of Technology, and the School of Informatics and Computing - would come together at Innovation Hall with lofty goals for engagement, innovation, and world-class learning.

Browning Day felt a lot of pride Friday night, accepting the IIDA Interior Design Excellence Award in the Higher Education category for Innovation Hall. A huge round of applause goes to our partners and supporting vendors who were instrumental in the completion and success of the project.
