Wildman BT

3020 W. Carroll Avenue | Chicago, IL 60612

The historic Wildman Boiler & Tank building has been reimagined as a space for creative “manufacturing” of all types – film, photography, experiential activations, design showrooms, gallery events, and more.

From a working production studio to a glamorous setting for a posh private event, Wildman BT is designed with ultimate flexibility and functionality in mind so your vision can become a reality. The space is easy to work and gather in, including a street‑level drive‑in loading bay (that can double as VIP parking) and multiple entrance points for guests and vendors. A flexible floor plan supports limitless configurations for ceremonies, receptions, stages, lounges, and exhibits.

Wildman BT is filled with natural light and enhanced by: 

  • A floor‑to‑ceiling drapery system
  • Multi‑layered dimmable lighting
  • Polished concrete floors with flush‑mounted electric outlets
  • A 23-foot media wall
  • A state‑of‑the‑art audio/visual system
