Symbolically Built

In the far Northwoods of Wisconsin is the Forest County Potawatomi Community Center, a hub for local cultural education, recreation, athletic training, wellness and social events. The 110,000 sq ft facility boasts a dual-use pool complete with spa and recreation area, a fitness center, climbing wall, 20,000 sq ft wood court gymnasium, and a 20,000 sq ft field house with an elevated 110-yard jogging track above.

The Forest County Potawatomi (FCP) community had a strong design vision and was an integral part of the process from the very beginning. Organized around a central hub with two wings extending outward, the facility takes the shape of an eagle in flight when viewed from above — a sacred symbol of the FCP. Wells supported the vision through prefabricated building solutions, including exterior wall panels featuring a custom Graphic Concrete™ imprint that evokes feathered textures. The result is a durable, high-performing community center that honors cultural heritage and will serve the FCP people for generations to come.
