Located in the heart of Fishers, Indiana, adjacent to the Nickel Plate Trail, Hub & Spoke is a unique 94,000 square foot master-planned mixed-use development and partnership with the City of Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern Schools. The project consists of a Design Center with retail showrooms, Coworking space, and a state-of-the-art Makerspace – the Hub & Spoke Institute.
The Hub & Spoke Institute (HSI) includes a community workshop, innovation lab, and art studio where we will provide S.T.E.A.M-based hands-on experiential learning to develop a skilled workforce.
The Design Center is the project’s anchor consisting of retail showrooms where homeowners and trade professionals can shop for the latest products in home improvement including flooring, cabinetry, countertops, window treatments, plumbing fixtures, lighting and more.
Our dedicated makerspace and training facility features tools, manufacturing equipment, and art studio space where youth, adults, and entrepreneurs are empowered to create, discover, innovate and explore their passions with the support of training and educational assistance.
The Community Connect fosters creativity, connection, collaboration, and the freedom and flexibility people and businesses need to accomplish more. Our indoor and outdoor event center, leveraging proximity to the proposed Nickel Plate Trail, provides community and industry recreational and educational events.
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.Jason Ells / Senior VP of Custom Concrete
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.Dr. Byron L. Ernest / 2010 Indiana Teacher of the Year & Member of the Indiana State Board of Education
