Lorene was a visionary.  Rod Collier met Lorene at a little farm in northern Indiana way back in 1999; she shared her desire to build a school.  But not just any school. She envisioned a premiere Montessori School rooted in the agrarian nature of northern Indiana.  25+ years (and 20+ building projects) later, Rod is still excited every time he sets foot on the amazing Oak Farm School campus in Avilla, Indiana.  Oak farm is one of just a few Montessori schools with programs ranging from infants to high school, so this unique and special school has an amazing educational experience for every age range.  The campus continues to grow and the buildings span the spectrum of time from "the Victorian House" to the "modern bike shop", this campus even teaches architecture (albeit subtly) to students as they progress through the program.

Rod Collier worked on projects at Oak Farm School while at MSKTD & Associates from 1994-2008. 

Rottmann Collier Architects has been the architecture firm of record for all projects since 2009.
