SC Johnson Campus Tour (Administration Building, Research Tower & Fortaleza Hall)
Up to 1 hour, 30 minutes
This tour is perfect for those who want a close, in-depth look at SC Johnson’s inspired architecture. The tour features the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Administration Building, the Research Tower as well as Fortaleza Hall (which includes the Timeline Tunnel and The Lily Pad gift shop).
While on tour, guests have time to explore the new exhibit in the SC Johnson Gallery: At Home with Frank Lloyd Wright. In celebration of Frank Lloyd Wright’s birth in Wisconsin 150 years ago this year, SC Johnson presents the latest installment titled On the Wright Trail. The gallery will include examples of Wright’s architectural designs, furniture and textiles, and the exhibition focuses on some of the famed architect’s most iconic buildings. Artworks from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and SC Johnson collections are shown alongside large-scale photographs of Wright interiors and many of the locations and settings of his buildings, offering the viewer an unprecedented opportunity to study the architect’s design practice across different areas, media, and time.
The exhibition covers almost the entirety of the Frank Lloyd Wright Trail in Wisconsin—from both his youthful and mature experiments in and around Spring Green to groundbreaking homes in Madison and Milwaukee—through the inclusion of twenty-six models of some of the architect’s greatest designs, crafted by retired Janesville architect, Ron Olsen.
