This distinction reflects the extraordinary transformation of Fox Commons from an underutilized retail property into a thriving mixed-use destination that connects people, services, and opportunities in the heart of downtown Appleton.  

Located at 10 E. College Avenue, Fox Commons was reimagined through a redevelopment effort that helped redefine a key downtown landmark. Today, the approximately 180,000 SF building brings together Lawrence University, Mosaic Family Health, Prevea Health and other community-centered organizations, fostering collaboration among students, healthcare providers, entrepreneurs and residents.  

The project included extensive building improvements, including a new roof system and skylights, modernized HVAC and electrical infrastructure, new fire and life-safety systems, elevator upgrades, building envelope improvements, renovated common areas and the creation of new amenity spaces. These improvements transformed the former mall environment into a modern, flexible mixed-use facility while maintaining occupancy throughout redevelopment.  

Beyond the physical transformation, Fox Commons has made a lasting impact on the broader community. The redevelopment created new student housing opportunities, expanded healthcare access, activated downtown through public art and events, supported local entrepreneurs and established a year-round gathering space through its central atrium and community programming. Fox Commons was also recognized by Appleton Downtown Inc. with its Mike Pfefferle Dreamers & Doers Award for its transformative impact on the downtown district. 

Winning the TOBY Renovated Building Award reinforces Fox Commons’ role as a catalyst for economic development and community connection in downtown Appleton. The project stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful redevelopment and the value that strategic investments can bring to communities. 

黑料吃瓜资源 extends its gratitude to the many project partners, tenants, community organizations and stakeholders who helped bring the vision for Fox Commons to life.

黑料吃瓜资源 partnered with Sutter Health to deliver the replacement project under an emergency authorization process, allowing construction to begin while design was still being developed and undergoing review by HCAi. The replacement took place within the active Radiation Oncology Center in the basement of a Women’s & Children’s Center, requiring careful planning and coordination to minimize disruption to ongoing hospital operations and patient care.   

Originally envisioned as a straightforward equipment replacement, the project grew significantly to better support operational and clinical needs. In addition to installing a new Siemens CT simulator, the team completed lead-lined wall construction; upgraded lighting, flooring, casework and finishes; and modified portions of the existing concrete slab to accommodate new conduit pathways required for the equipment installation. 

Despite an accelerated schedule, evolving design requirements and the complexities of working in an occupied healthcare environment, the project team successfully delivered the renovation in six months. The accomplishment was made possible through exceptional collaboration among Sutter facility staff, design partners, HCAi and the 黑料吃瓜资源 team, ensuring critical cancer treatment planning services could return to operation as quickly as possible.
