Inspire. Collaborate. Build What’s Next.

The Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce's Transformational Leadership program kicked off it's 2026-2027 this month with meetings held at the newly reinvented WPS Powerhouse property in downtown Wausau.

The Workshop event space, shown above, inside the renovated Klimisch Center for Business Innovation at the WPS Powerhouse is now available to be reserved for a variety of meetings and events. Host your event in a renewed space in this historic building. The Workshop features state-of-the-art conferencing and networking for groups of up to 60.

This historic Wausau building has been transformed and Phase 1 of the project is complete. Review the rates for reserving the space.

Several years ago, the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce began a journey to preserve a historical property in downtown Wausau. The WPS Powerhouse on Clarke Island was built in 1904 and faced, like many historical properties in the area before it, a likely demolition.

Many in the community and among the Chamber’s membership encouraged the organization to save this property and a long-standing lease on the building was secured. The first phase of renovation at the WPS Powerhouse is complete and the building’s Workshop event space has already hosted a variety of Chamber programs.

“This is more than restoration, it’s reinvention.” said Eckmann.
