The BRIDGES Center

Bridges is a gem in downtown that I believe probably is under utilized. It was the first commercial green building in Memphis and has all kinds of neat «green» features — like carpet made of recycled water bottles and solar panels. The architecture is very unique and is designed to help promote learning about buildings, structures and their relationship with the environment. I know this place offers a lot, but the scope of there activities and services is unclear. Their website isn’t super helpful in communicating this sort of information either.
I do know they offer team building activities, which is why I was here. Great experience! The activities were meaningful, well thought out and executed seamlessly. The staff was very helpful in facilitating conversations about the process while not letting us get too far off track in our discussions.
One of my favorites of the night was the rock climbing wall! What a fun experience in general, let alone as part of a team building exercise. This wall is also open some Fridays for people to come and climb from 6−9pm for $ 15. Call ahead or check their facebook to check on which Fridays they are hosting this.

Very odd architecture which can make some very dizzy as long as you’re not focused on the slanted structures. On top it being a community center it has rock climbing walls to ropes courses. My only gripe is the location because even though its located downtown it’s a very bad and shady part of downtown.
