MENASHA, Wis. (Feb. 17, 2026) — Faith Technologies Incorporated™ (FTI) has concluded its due diligence period related to the former University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Fox Cities campus.
After careful review, FTI has determined that the best path forward is not acquiring the campus buildings and continuing to look for opportunities that better align with long-term needs.
However, FTI plans to explore future collaborative opportunities at the Winnebago Fox campus including leasing space and working with organizations focused on innovation and technical training.
“We want to thank Winnebago County for their partnership and transparency throughout this process,” said Charlie Fredrickson, executive vice president with FTI. “Although the campus wasn’t the ideal match for our growth plans, as an organization with teams across the country we are focused on finding a location that will best serve our team members today and for years to come, both locally and nationally. We are excited to explore supporting technical education and workforce development through new partnerships and initiatives.”
“This was always an exploratory process and we understood there were no commitments that FTI would take on the campus,” said Gordon Hintz, County Executive. “We appreciated their thorough due diligence and the thoughtful conversations throughout the process. FTI’s feedback and assessment give us a good understanding of the challenges and opportunities that exist as we work to redevelop and repurpose the Winnebago Fox campus.”
Hintz added, “We will work to get the Communication Arts Center and field house open to the public in the short term as well embark on a visioning and market assessment to help determine a future for that campus that adds to our tax base, preserves our community assets, and contributes to workforce development and quality of life in our community.”
FTI will continue its efforts to identify a national hub for workforce development and advanced technology training. This includes apprenticeship and ICIAN® programs, energy and technology skills training, and potential space for future R&D or advanced manufacturing activities.
