RV Technical Institute

The RV Industry Association (RVIA), the national trade association representing RV manufacturers and their component part suppliers, approved the creation of the RV Technical Institute (RVTI) to address an increasing shortfall of trained technicians. However, the RVTI needed a home for functional training space, RVIA offices, and to communicate the brand image that the RVIA envisioned for the organization.

JPR worked with the RVTI to help identify several potential building sites for the Institute, providing options for both the renovation of existing buildings as well as new construction. Ultimately, a former Indiana Tech University building in Elkhart, Indiana, was selected to serve as the new home for the RVTI.

JPR worked closely with the client to establish a project scope that would minimize construction costs while providing the maximum amount of programmable space to meet the needs of the RVTI. The building renovation included a new entrance canopy, new interior finishes, a staff restroom, staff workout area, staff kitchenette, and access control systems to secure the technician training areas from administrative offices.
