Construction is like a science fair project. Both have a clearly defined purpose: a design to meet the requirements, materials budgeted and purchased, division of duties, and a way to measure against the goals to ensure they are met. You also never quite know how the project will go until you really get into it. Our team found this colorful rainbow hiding behind a wall that was just demolished at our National Federation of the Blind project for the Jacobus TenBroek Foundation in Baltimore, MD. Originally built in 1906, this 96,122 sf structure is now undergoing the removal and replacement of 29 (10 ft) high exterior windows with metal façade, and creating a hospitality suite to accommodate 22 guest rooms, a full gym, game room and a kitchen area for its members. Additional features will include custom acoustics and metal wall panels designed for low vision skill training. Stayed tuned to see what else is hiding behind these walls. #buildingexceptional #construction #commercial National Federation of the Blind The Verve Partnership Living Design Lab ...
