The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office and the Hamilton County Parks & Recreation Department recently relocated their offices. The pair are now sharing quarters in a newly renovated office building at 400 Lafayette Road in Noblesville.

The Coroner’s Office outgrew the space it originally shared with the Hamilton County Health Department at 18030 Foundation Drive.

“Our caseload has increased dramatically, and we’ll soon be adding more staff,” said Coroner John Chalfin. “Plus, this new location is much closer to the morgue at Riverview Health. The time we save just driving back and forth has already helped our productivity.”

Parks & Rec moved from an aging home on the property of Cool Creek Park in Carmel. Although the new space has a smaller footprint, it offers new amenities, like meeting rooms and parking, that were missing at the former location.

“We’ve been in here about a month now,” said Parks & Rec Director Chris Stice. “And while we’re still waiting on some new furniture, the layout of this new space is so much more functional. It really lends itself to better camaraderie among our team.”

While in the same building, the two offices are separated by locked doors. Hamilton County’s Buildings and Grounds team made all the necessary renovations to the building over the course of the past six months. The parks office is in Suite 400. The coroner’s office is in Suite 402.
