Irwin Mortgage Corporation Wins Award from Indianapolis AIA for
Building Design INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Irwin Mortgage Corporation's national headquarters building was
recognized by the Indiana Chapter of the American Institute of
Architects (Indianapolis AIA) at their "Excellence in Architecture"
awards ceremony, Thursday, Nov. 20 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom.
Don Kincaid, the owner of the building, and Bob Griffith, president
and CEO of Irwin Mortgage accepted the award. "We have created,
what we believe, is a one-of-a-kind workspace, very modern in form
and function, that expresses both our optimism about the future and
the spirit of fun and enjoyment we bring to the business," said Bob
Griffith, president and CEO of Irwin Mortgage. "It was intended to
inspire our employees and it seems to be doing this." Irwin
Mortgage believes their facilities and overall environment makes a
difference in the attitude and energy of its employees. Almost
forty-one percent of its employees have been with the company for
over five years and 18.3% of their employees have been there 10
years or more. The 127,000 square foot, four-story Irwin Mortgage
headquarters building is located in Fishers, Ind., along the I-69
corridor in Delaware Park at 106th and Kincaid Drive. It features a
lobby on each floor, a conference center with state-of-the-art
multimedia equipment, conference rooms, kitchenettes on each floor,
skillfully placed ruby red walls to add a splash of color, a full-
service copy center, an Irwin company store, color-infused
staircases and an outdoor patio. The furniture was selected from
popular names in modern design, including Pensi, Eames and Mies van
der Rohe. The pieces were chosen to reflect the clean, simple lines
of the building. The building's design came from internationally
recognized architect Carlos Jimenez, whose work has been linked to
the new wave of Spanish and Latin American architects. His
creations are known for their purity of form, use of bold color and
sophisticated ordering of spaces. The open workspace allows
employees to share light without wires and poles common to most
large office spaces. Workstations, rather than offices, and
ten-foot floating ceilings to absorb sound, allow employees to work
efficiently and the style of the building remains intact. Irwin
Mortgage Corporation helps turn home dreamers into homeowners with
products offered through selected retail, wholesale, correspondent

services to customers who want to finance or refinance homes. The
Indianapolis-based lender, with roots dating back to 1944, has
