Project Overview
The Cheyenne and Arapaho Administration Building represented a landmark civic investment for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in El Reno, Oklahoma. The $110 million project encompassed a three-story, approximately 150,000-square-foot office complex anchored by a sweeping two-story great hall with symmetrical wings. The building housed a 6,000-square-foot museum with secure collections storage, a cafe and kitchen, a multi-purpose hall, and numerous office suites. Exterior amenities included terraces, walking trails, a buffalo lookout platform, and a porte cochere scaled to accommodate full-size buses. PRESWERX supported the client's pursuit through proposal development, presentation materials, presentation coaching, renderings, and animations.
Client Challenges
The client faced the challenge of communicating a complex, culturally significant project to a sophisticated tribal owner with exacting standards for both design quality and community identity:
Translating a 150,000-square-foot mixed-use program, including a tribal museum and secure collections storage, into a single, coherent pursuit narrative
Demonstrating architectural quality and spatial vision before construction through visuals that could earn the owner's confidence
Differentiating the team in a competitive selection process where cultural sensitivity and technical capability both mattered
Each challenge called for a pursuit strategy that was precise, visually compelling, and attuned to the owner's priorities.
Scope of Work
PRESWERX produced a full-service pursuit package tailored to the project's scale and cultural significance. The proposal was developed to frame the client's qualifications against the program's demands, from the museum and secure collections storage to the sprawling exterior campus with walking trails and a buffalo lookout platform. Custom renderings visualized the building's architectural character and key amenity spaces, while animations brought the exterior massing and interior sequences to life. A polished presentation was built around that visual foundation, and PRESWERX led presentation coaching sessions to sharpen the team's delivery and alignment ahead of the selection interview.

PRESWERX approached this engagement as a strategic partner, aligning the project's architectural scale with the owner's cultural priorities throughout.

Produced renderings and animations that conveyed design quality before construction, giving the selection panel a vivid picture of the finished environment
