Matchbook Learning Schools of Indiana, Inc. announced the completion of the Match High School and Career Center, an energy-efficient school.

Energy solutions provider Ameresco led all aspects of design, engineering and construction for the $20 million project.

The school’s campus includes two repurposed industrial warehouse buildings — the main school and the career center. The career center will offer vocational and apprenticeship programs in construction trades, welding, engineering and entrepreneurship. Construction of the main school was completed in March 2025.

“Ameresco and DKGR have helped us create something truly special: a space that reflects the promise and potential of every student we serve and one that inspires our students to learn and realize their career dreams,” said Sajan George, founder of Matchbook Learning Schools of Indiana, Inc., in a statement. 

During the past year the energy efficiency improvements that were installed include advanced building automation controls, building envelope improvements, insulated thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofs, interior and exterior LED lighting upgrades, heat pump hot water heaters and HVAC upgrades. These upgrades will ensure the buildings are resource efficient and will lead to long-term cost savings. 

The school’s new 165KW photovoltaic (PV) solar and battery energy storage system (BESS), which will provide reliable, renewable backup energy to power the school’s operations, is slated to be installed later in 2025.
