Building Spaces for Growth and Learning

Boys and Girls Club of Indianapolis gave Tonn and Blank the opportunity to support our community through two impactful renovation projects, each completed at different times and designed to serve unique needs for youth across the city. From creating an energetic recreational environment to building a focused academic space, both efforts reflect a shared commitment to strengthening the next generation.

Creating Energy at the LeGore Campus

During Royal Rumble weekend, the LeGore Campus unveiled a newly renovated SuperSpace gym designed to give youth a safe and engaging place to stay active. The project was supported by community partners, including a $75,000 contribution from WWE and $7,500 from Cricket Wireless.

Tonn and Blank partnered with local trades to refresh finishes and enhance the functionality of the gym, creating a durable space built for recreation, teamwork, and growth. The completed SuperSpace now serves as an outlet for energy and connection. It is a place where Boys and Girls Club members can build healthy habits and confidence in a setting shaped by community support and skilled craftsmanship.

Supporting Learning at the Keenan-Stahl Unit

In a separate project, the Keenan-Stahl Unit introduced a newly renovated Panda Cares Center of Hope, a space dedicated to academic success, mentorship, and personal development. Funded by a $45,000 grant from the Panda Cares Foundation, the project focused on enhancing the Club’s Project Learn programming.

The goal was to transform an existing learning area into a flexible, supportive academic environment without interrupting ongoing programs. Tonn and Blank worked closely with local trade partners who contributed time, materials, and expertise to complete flooring, ceiling, paint, and electrical upgrades.

The finished Center of Hope now supports tutoring, collaborative learning, reading, and technology-based activities. It also equips staff with improved tools to guide students toward graduation and future opportunities.

Where Construction Meets Community

Though completed at different times and for different purposes, both projects highlight the impact of thoughtful construction within community spaces. Whether through physical activity or academic support, these environments play a critical role in youth development.

Working inside an active Boys and Girls Club required careful planning and coordination. Construction took place alongside daily youth programming, with safety measures and scheduling strategies ensuring minimal disruption.

For Tonn and Blank, the work goes beyond construction. Community projects are important to us, it reflects a responsibility to invest in the communities where they live and build and demonstrates how skilled trades and strong partnerships can create lasting spaces where young people can thrive.
