South Bend Tribune Offices

Due to the changing world of communication and publication, the South Bend Tribune needed to vacate their existing office space. As part of ongoing work at Building 113, part of the Renaissance District’s mixed-use project in downtown South Bend, JPR was engaged by the owner to assist in locating and designing a space appropriate for the tenant as well as aligning with the vision of the District. The new space would require both open concept and private office meeting space for the relocated staff.

The new Tribune offices consist of roughly 16,500 square feet of area with a mix of open and enclosed spaces. The open office area benefits from the large exterior windows of the former Studebaker automobile facility, and custom workstations give a level of visual and acoustic privacy along with efficient workspace. The enclosed areas include a large breakroom with a kitchenette, conference rooms (both large and small), and private offices for department heads and supervisors. Several private rooms are also provided for digital media such as podcasts and photography. The overall building is designed to be modular and flexible, giving the tenant the ability to expand or contract their space as the business evolves in the future.
