 Williams Center
|
The Williams Center has become an integral part of daily life in the Oelwein community since its opening in 2002. The facility, named in honor of benefactor Churchill Williams, benefits both the bodies and minds of area residents and guests, and is truly a center of education, entertainment, and wellness.
Stained glass installed...
The Williams Center took on a new look of music and the arts when 18 panels of stained glass windows were installed in the foyer. The image is a musical score beginning with the G cleft, flowing some 40-feet across the east side of the building, interspersed with one panel of dancers and one of the tragedy/comedy drama mask. A group of some 30 talented and ambitious Oelwein volunteers under the tutelage of Oelwein artist Connie Kerns completed the project.

EDUCATION CENTER
Little Husky Learning Center was much needed and is well used. It holds all the district kindergarten classes as well as pre-school, Head Start, and child day care. It includes a state of the art playground called the Children's Garden.
Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) opened college classrooms here for both credit and community education courses. It is used by the high school as well as the community at large. High school computer labs and science labs support the college classes. There is also a state-of-the-art ICN room. Visit NICC Oelwein Center.
