Project Description

Arrowstreet has been working with Brooklyn Boulders (BKB) to expand their hybrid rock climbing facilities across the country, providing an unconventional fitness platform to bring together the art, music, culture, and entrepreneurial communities. The newest location is in Chicago’s West Loop; once a meatpacking district the area is now a haven for tech companies, restaurants, and art galleries. At 25,000 square feet, BKB Chicago is one of the largest indoor climbing facilities in the Midwest, with free-climb bouldering walls, 50-foot roped walls, fitness equipment, yoga, and the active collaborative workspace. Natural light enlivens the facility during the day.
