## Resource

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Craig Armstrong, Partner at Elevatus Architecture in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They discuss the Westville State Prison in Westville, Indiana. You can see the project here as you listen along. Set against the flat, open landscape of northern Indiana, the new Westville State Prison emerges as a replacement for an aging institution and as a comprehensive rethinking of what a correctional environment can be. Led by Elevatus Architecture and utilizing precast concrete in its design, the project confronts the immense logistical and social demands of a 4,200-bed facility with an architectural response that is at once infrastructural in scale and human-centered in intent.
