Children's Museum Revises Grant Park Design

The Chicago Children's Museum released a revised architectural plan today, and the new take doesn't include the 16-foot skylights from the original proposals. According to the really fancy press release, "In effect, the project involves the replacement of approximately 400 enclosed under-plaza parking spaces with 100,000 square feet of museum space and a Chicago Park District field house."

The new design also includes substantially shrinking the entryway and putting it on park property, and changing the initially proposed in-museum courtyard to a series of "public park terraces." [Trib]
