Forest County Potawatomi Community Center

Nestled within the vast wooded expanse of northern Wisconsin lies thayék ethë dnêkmëgzêk myéw, the place where everybody plays. The Forest County Potawatomi People sought to create a space for children whose families had been impacted by drug and alcohol addiction–a place of wellness, a place of rest and a place of community. Our team worked closely with tribal leaders to develop a design that is both culturally significant and programmatically appropriate, weaving natural imagery into the building's interior and exterior elements.

Seasons is a visual story of the Twelve Moons (icons) rendered in glass mosaic interpreting Native American Forest County Potawatomi cultural symbols. References to the twelve-month calendar and seasonal events wrap four support columns framing the FCP Community Center Commons central meeting place.
