The WMS Boathouse at Clark Park, designed by Studio Gang Architect and completed in 2013, features a dynamic structure that enhances the recreational offerings along the Chicago River. The boathouse includes facilities for rowing and community events, integrating a sustainable design with the use of Black Locust Lumber’s boardwalks. These durable boardwalks provide a functional and aesthetic solution, aligning with the project's commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement. Founded and led by Jeanne Gang, Studio Gang is an architecture and urban design practice based in Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, and Paris, making it a global firm with a strong international presence. One of the main approaches of the studio is using design as a medium to connect people to each other, their communities, and the environment.
