TRANSFORMING EVERYDAY SPACES INTO LEARNING EXPERIENCES.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORY

Helping Chicago Children’s Museum Bring Playful Learning Landscapes to Local Communities

Bridgewater Studio partnered with Chicago Children's Museum and Metropolitan Family Services to execute the fabrication and installation of a diverse set of playful learning opportunities in the everyday public spaces where families work, play and live.

In the Little Village neighborhood, we produced themed furniture, interactive elements, and engaging graphics, and installed a mural created by a local artist—all to promote early math learning in a neighborhood laundromat.

In the nearby city of Aurora, we fabricated and installed permanent outdoor interactives that encourage math learning at a community garden. The development of this experience included the prototyping of various concrete-forming methods for tables and stepping stones, building custom benches and birdhouses, and installing durable outdoor signage.

With these creative applications, our cities and public spaces are reimagined as playful learning opportunities for children and caregivers.

“Bridgewater was a great partner in taking our designs from the page to the community. In addition to great project management and high-quality fabrication, they worked with us to develop artistic components that would allow neighborhood residents to help create a part of each installation.”
