Connected to Community, Art, and Wellness

The building was designed by Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects and conceived as an extension of the surrounding forest, connected to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. The site’s landscape includes healing gardens, outdoor classrooms, urban farming space, and a rooftop terrace that connects to a cafe and amphitheater. Outdoor features including the rooftop park and surrounding sites are designed by NYC-based design studio Office of Strategy + Design.
