Any projects you want to highlight?

Within Herron, we’ve been doing some really interesting work lately with some fantastic community partners, such as the IU Health Simulation Center and the 16Tech Innovation District. One past project worth noting was working with the IUPUI Office of Sustainability and the IUPUI Natatorium designing a new communication strategy and accompanying for their zero-waste initiative in 2016:
