Nearly 8,000 soldiers and their families live at Fort Wainwright adjacent to Fairbanks, Alaska. As the Fort grew, so did the demand for high-quality indoor recreation spaces. This led to the construction of two state-of-the-art facilities, the Aquatic Center and the Community Center. Commercial Contractors Inc. (CCI) was selected to handle the extensive flooring installations for both facilities. Designers chose porcelain tile for the nine lane pool, splash pad and zero depth / water play pool, locker rooms and the many bathrooms in the new facilities.
