Major work to enhance the functionality and visitor experience of The Sky Farm at Eskenazi Health will result in The Sky Farm being closed for several months. As part of the healing environment of the Eskenazi Health downtown campus, The Sky Farm will undergo upgrades to create a more flexible space and will transition much of the productive agriculture to the Eskenazi Health Thomas & Arlene Grande Campus. Eskenazi Health Foundation is generously providing $2 million in funding for these exciting updates.
The Sky Farm, located on the roof above the Sandra Eskenazi Outpatient Care Center, opened more than 10 years ago and provides a calming and relaxing atmosphere with breathtaking views of downtown Indianapolis. The new look of The Sky Farm will be more accessible and include an enhanced landscape design that carefully arranges native plantings, pathways and rolling topography to guide visitors through a variety of outdoor spaces. The enhancements will allow for more intimate seating for small-group gatherings and programmable event opportunities. Landscape materials, such as Indiana-inspired meadow plantings, wood-finished furnishings, specialty pavements, and a warm and healing rooftop garden, will be part of the updated design.
