Alliance Architects (South Bend) — the parish church: the ground's largest documented architectural commission is St. Pius X's 2017 church, designed by Alliance Architects of South Bend with William Heyer Architects (EverGreene's project record; Today's Catholic names Alliance as the firm the parish engaged, with Jed Eide of Alliance at the 2015 groundbreaking). The firm's own line: Alliance Architects is a full-service South Bend firm formed in 2012 by the merger of James Childs Architects (in practice in South Bend since 1972) and Architecture Design Group (since 1988), its principals including Bill Lamie. William Heyer Architects, the liturgical co-designer, stands in the record at this commission's strength. Majority Builders, the church's general contractor, and EverGreene Architectural Arts, its liturgical artists, complete the 2017 building team as documented.
Lehman & Lehman (Mishawaka) — landscape architecture, not buildings: the firm the banked build meets twice is a landscape-architecture and planning firm, and the distinction is printed because the register gathers it among architects: Lehman & Lehman, Inc., founded in 1988 by Chuck Lehman (Purdue, landscape architecture) in Mishawaka, was commissioned by Harris Township for the Elm Road park's overall master plan — "Elm Road Pedestrian Park," approximately 9.6 acres, its phasing to run to 2017, with pathways, courts, play fields and the Granger Pathways connection (the firm's own project record) — and worked the Harris Prairie Cemetery renewal the banked build carries. The firm's wider local course (Mishawaka's Central Park renovation as lead designer, Notre Dame athletics work) is the cities', boundary-printed. In October 2024 Lehman & Lehman joined V3 Companies, Chuck Lehman and Mike Bultinck continuing with V3 — the successor line the register asks for, stated as of November 2026.
The golf architects: Ken Killian, ASGCA, designed Juday Creek Golf Course (built 1988, first full season 1989) — the attribution the golf-record sources carry, against aggregator attributions to others that the banked neighborhoods leg does not credit. Ernie Schrock is named by GolfLink as designer of Knollwood's West course, opened 1985. Both stand at that strength: named designers of the ground's two golf landscapes, with no building work on this ground in the record reached.
The county project's team: Anderson Road County Park's design course names its firms in the county record: DLZ as lead design team with ELC, Indiana LLC, the design contract approved by the Redevelopment Commission in February 2025 and reimbursed from the park bond (Parks, banked) — the newest architectural commission on the ground, a landscape commission like Lehman & Lehman's.
The negative that bounds the article: no architect was reached for the Harris Branch library (2004), for Granger Community Church's campus, for any Princess Way industrial building, or for any house on the ground, custom or production — the permit and survey records that would name them are the named settlers of the entries above. The architects of Granger, at the strength the open record carries, are therefore a church firm, a landscape firm, two golf designers and a county design team — and that short roll, printed whole, is the finding: a place of thirty thousand was built almost entirely without its builders' names entering the public record.
