Ralph S. O’Connor Center Renovation & Addition
Johns Hopkins University: Baltimore, MD
Built in 2002, the O’Connor Center serves as the primary facility on the Homewood Campus for fitness programs, recreational sports, and experiential education activities. The project scope involved selective demolition, repurposing of spaces, and renovations to the Center, along with preliminary investigation, design, and construction administration services for a new addition. Approximately 6,000-SF of renovations accommodated relocated athletic and administrative spaces, new wellness programs, a flexible programing area, a café, options for daylighting, and an improved welcome desk/membership office. The 30,000-SF addition houses relocated and expanded cardio, weightlifting, and racquet sports programs. JPA’s scope included MEP design, BIM, energy modeling, and coordination with a third-party commissioning agency.
