A Circular Argument for Progress
The circle, one of the simplest shapes in construction, has historically been valued for structural strength and efficiency. Leveraging this idea by putting circularity into practice, we’re building smarter and cleaner in a way that clients can sustain.
Endeavor Health Chicago Fire Performance Center
Like most construction stories, this one began with goals. Yet in this case, some of those goals were literal soccer nets. The Endeavor Health Chicago Fire Performance Center — a 51,600‑square‑foot training hub for the Chicago Fire Football Club — was envisioned as far more than another athletic building.
Tech solutions in healthcare
Healthcare construction faces complex challenges and labor shortages, but technology can improve efficiency, reducing costs and enhancing coordination. Tools such as VR, AR, laser scanning, BIM and 3D modeling streamline planning, design and installation, ensuring quality, minimizing disruption and accelerating schedules for critical healthcare facility projects.
Embodied Carbon
Buildings generate nearly 39% of global carbon emissions, with embodied carbon a major contributor. To address this, Pepper Construction developed an Embodied Carbon Database (ECD) using life cycle assessments of past projects. The ECD enables data-driven decisions, material comparisons, and early design strategies, accelerating industry-wide decarbonization toward net zero.
Family Values
With the season for gratefulness, thankfulness and generosity approaching, we would like to recognize a few of the many, many people that make Pepper Construction a true family business.
Butler University New Sciences Complex
At Butler University, Pepper worked over the course of four years to deliver a Sciences Complex that balances the university’s history and legacy with the needs of modern STEM education.
Weathering the storm
Pepper Construction spent more than a year erecting Building 6 of the Mohr Logistics Park in Whiteland, Indiana, 1 million square feet of office and warehouse space spread out next to Interstate 65 and located about 20 miles south of Indianapolis.
The ideation of our Net Zero Trailer
What does it take to turn a concept into reality? We weren't the first to think about building a Net Zero trailer, but we were the first to build and use one on our projects. Learn the process we took to figure out how to make it reality - and how it's making a difference for our team.
NDI: Building a holistic approach to mental health
Indiana NeuroDiagnostic Institute stands as a new model of care for behavioral health patients and hospital staff. From incorporating Biophilia, to an extensive amount of mockups, to using Augmented Reality for field verification, it also required the highest level of care during construction to make it a safe reality.
