PROJECT DESCRIPTION

​​

JUMP is a not-for-profit, interactive creative center and community gathering place. It is known for its innovative design, featuring a 6-story main building and five intersecting grid patterns. 

J. R. (Jack) Simplot, an Idaho entrepreneur saw potential where others did not. A model of the pioneering spirit, of taking risks, and thinking outside the box. J. R. passed away in 2008 leaving behind his legacy and astounding collection of vintage tractors. 

While deciding what to do with these tractors, a new idea emerged. Instead of building a typical tractor museum, which would likely be under-utilized, it was decided to build JUMP; a lively community space unlike anything Boise has ever seen. 

While “JUMP” is a metaphor for explorative play, it is also an acronym for “Jack’s Urban Meeting Place.” The desire is for this place to honor Jack by giving our community opportunities to continue to inspire, grow, and innovate.
