Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative (MLEC) Operations Center serves as the central Minnesota company's headquarters and operations base. It houses office space, essential vehicle storage and maintenance areas, and a dedicated car wash for fleet upkeep. The facility is designed for high durability and aesthetic appeal and reflects MLEC's commitment to operational efficiency.

Wells worked closely with the building partners through a design-assist approach to create a structure that utilized both architectural and structural prefabricated elements throughout the facility. This close collaboration underscored the value of early involvement and open communication—key factors in delivering a successful, budget-friendly solution that met MLEC’s long-term operational needs.
