The “Cool” Climber - more images from the Children’s Museum of Phoenix

Reading about the Schuff-Perini Climber constructed this spring in the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, it sounds like a pretty cool structure. But seeing the designer’s renderings (ala BIM) and photos of the real thing puts it in a whole different light. Don’t you just want to go there and climb around?

Here are several additional images that were not included in the August 2010 MSC article. Click each image to see a larger version. Photos are by Timmerman Photography, Inc., courtesy of the Children’s Museum of Phoenix. Model views are by Schuff Steel Co.
