Project Brief
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.
