Summit Design + Build Completes Indoor Rock Climbing Facility in Chicago

CHICAGO — Summit Design + Build has completed an indoor rock climbing facility for Brooklyn Boulders at 100 S. Morgan in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood. Brooklyn Boulders designs, builds and operates hybrid rock climbing facilities. The new 25,000-square-foot facility required the renovation and build-out of an existing building. The project included the removal of the existing 25-foot roof and the addition of a new 55-foot roof to accommodate the construction of a mezzanine and climbing walls, which span from floor to ceiling in the south building. The north building includes a climbing terrain, shared office space, a fitness studio, event space and café. Other amenities include locker rooms, showers and a customer lounge. The project was designed by Chris Ryan, the chief development officer of Brooklyn Boulders Chicago, and Massachusetts-based Arrowstreet Architecture & Design.
