Project Overview
The Ho-Chunk Nation recognized the need to reinvest in their Wisconsin gaming properties to better meet the needs of their patrons and create gaming destinations that generate pride within the Nation, create opportunity and economic stability, and support state tourism.
Extensive exterior improvements, including façade upgrades and the addition of porte-cocheres for the various locations, expanded parking, and site upgrades were incorporated. The design and construction ultimately connected the projects together in order to represent the Ho-Chunk brand, incorporating unique features to link each design to its unique location.
