克拉克公园设施是芝加哥市长拉姆-伊曼纽尔提出的四个船库之一，作为其河滨振兴计划的基石，为河流的未来发展奠定基础。伊曼纽尔的倡议是由美国环境保护局提供的近100万美元的赠款刺激的，以帮助清理河流和推动创造就业机会。Studio Gang被委托实现四个船坞中的两个，第二个设施将位于芝加哥河南支的第28街和埃莉诺街。它计划于2015年完成。

The Clark Park facility is one of four boathouses proposed by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel as cornerstones of his riverfront revitalization plan, anchoring the river’s future development. Emanuel’s initiative was spurred by the provision of nearly $1 million in grant funds by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to help clean up the river and drive job creation. Studio Gang was commissioned to realize two of the four boathouses, with the second facility to be located along the south branch of the Chicago River at 28th and Eleanor Streets. It is scheduled for completion in 2015.

克拉克公园的WMS赛艇馆目前是芝加哥赛艇基金会（CRF）的所在地。在与芝加哥公园区的合作中，CRF全年提供广泛的室内和室外活动，包括在水箱和河上学习划船的课程，青年和大师团队划船，测力计训练，划船灵感的瑜伽课程，以及为残疾人士量身定做的课程。

The WMS Boathouse at Clark Park is currently home to the Chicago Rowing Foundation (CRF). In partnership with the Chicago Park District, the CRF offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities year round, including learn to row sessions both in tanks and on the river, youth and masters team rowing, ergometer training, rowing-inspired yoga classes, and lessons tailored to individuals with disabilities.

随着芝加哥市致力于将长期污染和被忽视的芝加哥河改造成其下一个休闲领域，Studio Gang在克拉克公园的船库有助于催化必要的动力。”建筑是为了在视觉上捕捉划船的诗意节奏和运动，”Studio Gang建筑事务所的创始人和负责人Jeanne Gang说。”但是，通过提供一个公共的河岸，它也揭示了芝加哥河的生态和娱乐复兴的更大运动。

As the City of Chicago works to transform the long-polluted and neglected Chicago River into its next recreational frontier, Studio Gang’s boathouse at Clark Park helps catalyze necessary momentum. “The architecture is meant to visually capture the poetic rhythm and motion of rowing,” said Jeanne Gang, Founder and Principal of Studio Gang Architects. “But by providing a publically accessible riverfront, it also reveals the larger movement toward an ecological and recreational revival of the Chicago River.”

船库的设计将划船的延时运动转化为建筑屋顶形式，在提供视觉趣味的同时，也提供了空间和环境优势，使船库能够适应芝加哥独特的季节性变化。通过在倒 “V “型和 “M “型之间交替的结构桁架形状，屋顶实现了有节奏的调节，使南方的光线通过建筑上部的夹层进入。阁楼玻璃在冬天为结构的楼板加温，在夏天通风，以减少全年的能源使用。

The boathouse’s design translates the time-lapse motion of rowing into an architectural roof form, providing visual interest while also offering spatial and environmental advantages that allow the boathouse to adapt to Chicago’s distinctive seasonal changes. With structural truss shapes alternating between an inverted “V” and an “M,” the roof achieves a rhythmic modulation that lets in southern light through the building’s upper clerestory. The clerestory glazing warms the floor slab of the structure in winter and ventilates in summer to minimize energy use throughout the year.

这个22,620平方英尺的建筑群包括一个两层的机械加热和冷却的培训中心，一层的船只储存设施，以及一个浮动发射码头。主体建筑内有水箱、测力计机器、公共空间和芝加哥公园区的办公室。船只仓库可容纳皮划艇和独木舟供应商，包括办公空间，以及划艇壳和支持设备的净跨度存储。

The 22,620 square foot complex consists of a two-story mechanically heated and cooled training center, one-story boat storage facility, and a floating launch dock. The main building houses row tanks, ergometer machines, communal space, and an office for the Chicago Park District. Boat storage accommodates kayak and canoe vendors and includes office space, as well as clear span storage for rowing shells and support equipment.

该建筑的总成本为880万美元，其中320万美元为私人资金，包括WMS的200万美元，北园大学的100万美元，以及芝加哥赛艇基金会的20万美元和Alderman Ameya Pawar（第47区）用TIF资金匹配的100万美元。

The total building cost is $8.8 million, with $3.2 million in private funding including $2 million from WMS, $1 million from North Park University, and $200,000 from the Chicago Rowing Foundation and $1 million matched by Alderman Ameya Pawar (47th Ward) with TIF funds.
