Wolverine Power Cooperative

Wolverine Power Cooperative

While Michigan has been “rich” with energy for several generations, recently r.o.i. Design has learned more about how communities are powered.

Through the invitation of Richard Skendzel of Architectural Technology in Traverse City, MI we met Wolverine Power Cooperative in Cadillac, MI and were engaged as interior designers for their new 40,000 SF corporate office.  The new facility is being built adjacent to their existing offices on beautiful wooded acreage.

Planning for the housing of this growing team of engineers, planners, project managers and administrators has been the work of Eric Baker, CEO, Dawn Coon, Executive Assistant, and Tim Martin, Manager of Energy Operations.

The facility has been designed to nestle in the landscape, celebrating the Northern Michigan environs. The building sits low in the horizon but the interior spaces feel sky-high.

Some of our favorite features so far are the ceiling clouds, radius walls and specialty lighting. Project completion Winter 2016.

r.o.i. Design’s offices are at Front Street Studio. The owner of r.o.i. Design also owns the building and there is a 1300 SF first floor suite available in January 2016. This is a great space for creative firms or those who like to hang out with creative folk.  Currently in the building we have photographers, videographers, light manufacturing of decorative products, audio book recording, and pastoral care.  Extremely convenient to 131 and I96, and described as on the “fringe” of downtown Grand Rapids. Please contact Mary Witte at r.o.i. Design for more information!
