Gilman Hall Renovation
Johns Hopkins University: Baltimore, MD
The $59M renovation to this 145,000-SF historic building restored it to its former grandeur. Upgraded classrooms and faculty offices were infused with modern technology while retaining original architectural elements. Much of the work was related to life safety and energy conservation improvements, along with program-driven elements that incorporated all ten departments of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.
Unique aspects of the renovation included conversion of the former library stacks to 15,000-SF of additional academic space and conversion of an existing large interior light shaft into a new 4,000-SF atrium. The existing MEP/FP systems were replaced throughout the entire building and closely coordinated with the building’s historic character. The LEED Silver certified project was the first LEED certified building on the university’s Homewood Campus.
