School Setting:

Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College is located in Cloquet, Minnesota, just off Interstate 35. The campus is situated in a beautiful setting, a 38-acre former tree farm of 60-foot tall majestic red pines. The college sits on top of a bluff overlooking Cloquet, a community of approximately 13,000 people. The Fond du Lac Reservation Business Committee offices are approximately five miles away from the college.

The four colors of the Fond du Lac Reservation are red, black, white, and yellow. These colors are used on the four exterior metal walls of the building and are also representative of the four directions: north, south, east and west. The theme of diversity is represented in the many different construction materials visible throughout the academic building, and in the varying sizes and shapes of the windows in the building.

From above, the Thunderbird dominates the shape of the academic building. Extensive use of large windows provides earth and sky views of the outdoor environment, and represent the importance of having a vision for the future. The building design combines straight lines and circular elements to depict the college's role of bringing people from different backgrounds together in a safe, respectful place for everyone.
