PROJECT DETAILS

McGuane Park is located in the Bridgeport community of Chicago. This 9.88-acre community park offers an indoor pool, gyms, assembly halls, sports fields, and a playground. While creating new indoor spaces for employees and to best serve the community, the Park District and team at Schuler Shook opted for an intricate ceiling design that incorporates Seem 1 Acoustic lit and unlit baffles in an array of colors that brighten and enliven the space. In addition to the stunning centerpiece that welcomes visitors, Seem 1 Acoustic is also used to dampen sound in multi-purpose rooms and the gym, where Seem 2 Perimeter contributes a comfortable ambient glow. Individual units of Seem 2 Recessed with a 1.5" pop-down lens add flair to circulation spaces, helping make McGuane park a sough-after destination for the neighborhood.
