Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer

Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates is associated in Columbus, Indiana, with Mount Healthy Elementary School and the Cummins Occupational Health Association building. Founded in New York in 1967 by Hugh Hardy, Malcolm Holzman, and Norman Pfeiffer, the firm became nationally known for public and institutional architecture that combined bold form, expressive building systems, and a strong interest in preservation, adaptive reuse, and cultural planning. In Columbus, Mount Healthy Elementary stands as a notable example of 1970s educational experimentation, with its open-plan learning clusters and brightly exposed structural and mechanical systems. The Cummins Occupational Health Association building, completed in 1973, also earned national attention for its inventive design and received an AIA Honor Award.
