Hub & Spoke Design Center, an 85,000-square foot building with show room, office, and warehouse space situated along the proposed Nickel Plate Trail. Hub & Spoke will be a center of activity for the home building and design industries alongside a one-of-a-kind Makerspace for hobbyists, entrepreneurs, and students to design and create.
The Hub & Spoke Design Center will be a unique destination where visitors can experience:
Retail Showrooms and Warehousing
Makerspace and Training Facility
This dedicated space will feature tools, manufacturing equipment, and art studio space where youth, adults, and entrepreneurs are empowered to create, discover, and innovate their passions alongside training and educational assistance.
Community Connect
An interactive indoor-outdoor cooperative and agile work space for collaboration and cooperative work to support connection and growth for entrepreneurs, innovators, students and community members.
Event Space
Leveraging proximity to the proposed Nickel Plate Trail, the event space will be a destination for entertainment and recreation at the unique indoor/outdoor space.
It’s no secret that labor shortage and skills gap are big challenges for our industry. It’s refreshing to see great ideas like Hub & Spoke emerge to overcome these challenges. Hub & Spoke will provide a place where students and members of the community can both experience and learn about our industry. It will be a centralized place where young and established companies can collaborate, share and grow.

Students need to be given the space to be creative, explore new career opportunities and learn in a relevant context. Hub & Spoke will be the spot that encourages a whole new generation of creative minds to explore and solve the big problems.

MAKERSPACE + COMMUNITY CONNECT
Hub & Spoke’s Makerspace and Community Connect elements will grow awareness around career paths in the trade industry. Well-documented labor shortages in the trades have been attributed to a lack of exposure to trade experience during the primary and secondary education years. Hub & Spoke intends to break down the barriers to those experiences by providing opportunities for students to explore the trades as promising career paths. Hub & Spoke will also work alongside college institutions to support students seeking related degree-required careers such as construction management, architectural design, engineering and more.
