Schmidt Associates

Every visit tells a story.

The museum your family has visited for generations. The theatre where a performance gave you chills. The rec center that showed up in your neighborhood exactly when the community needed it most.

Those moments don't happen by accident. Schmidt Associates has been part of that story across Indianapolis and Louisville for more than 150 combined years.

Earning a landscape architecture license is more than passing exams. It's a commitment to growth, resilience, and lifelong learning.

For Stephanie Gates, the journey meant more than 1,500 hours of studying alongside peers from three different countries and 18 states, building connections that will last throughout her career. More importantly, it was an opportunity to deepen her knowledge, challenge herself, and grow through the process.

"Becoming licensed isn't an award or a gold star. It's something I've done with a large sense of pride because I know how hard I worked for it and how much I gained from the experience."

Join us in celebrating Stephanie and this incredible professional milestone.

There are only six HFDP-certified engineers in the state of Indiana.
Jim Walde is one of them.

Jim's achievement adds rare, regional distinction to the work we do in healthcare and to the clients who trust us with it. The Healthcare Facility Design Professional certification is a rigorous credential recognizing expertise in the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that make healthcare environments safe, efficient, and effective.

At Schmidt Associates, we believe exceptional healthcare design begins with people who bring both technical precision and genuine care to every project. Jim exemplifies that standard.

Join us in congratulating Jim on this outstanding achievement.
