Opened in Dec. 2016, the Eleanor Boathouse at Park 571 in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood celebrates the natural beauty, community recreation and environmental stewardship of the Chicago River.


Designed by Studio Gang Architects, the $8.8 million, 19,003-square-foot, one-story, two-building facility employs energy-efficient daylighting principles.


The larger of the Eleanor Boathouse's two buildings features a translucent transom supplied by Exterior Technologies, Inc. (EXTECH) using its LIGHTWALL 3440® interlocking polycarbonate translucent wall system.


Anthony Roofing installed 2,288 square feet EXTECH's system in less than three weeks despite its complex geometry supporting the project's schedule, aesthetic, performance and sustainability goals.

Green, Targeting Silver

The Eleanor Boathouse was designed and constructed following the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED® (BD+C, v3, 2009) rating system for new construction. The project is pursuing Silver certification.
