Over the course of a decade, JCJ provided comprehensive architectural and design services that transformed Foxwoods Resort Casino from a small enterprise to one of the largest and most successful gaming and entertainment attractions in the world. The firm designed millions of square feet of gaming presented within a wide variety of separate casino experiences, connected by lively concourses lined with retail and food & beverage outlets. From night clubs, arcades, and live entertainment showrooms to poker and racebook facilities, the work pioneered the landscape of Indian gaming. JCJ delivered multiple hotels providing a variety of accommodation options ranging from 420 square foot typical rooms to lavish 6,000 square foot suites. State-of-the-art convention and conference facilities serve a wide-range of functions and the 5,000 seat bingo hall, one of the largest in the world, easily converts to a venue for concerts, boxing or exhibit hall.
The speed at which Foxwoods was designed and constructed was almost unimaginable for its time. Executed as a “Flash-Track” project, casino and hotel (Phase IV) were designed and constructed in just 15 months. Throughout the design, JCJ worked with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe to develop appropriate tributes to their culture, and to subtly infuse tribal iconography, colors and textures throughout the property.
