2400 Boston Street Office Modifications
AOL/Millennial Media: Baltimore, MD
JPA provided MEP design for a two-phased renovation project in a portion of this historic American Can Company Building and adjacent facilities. Phase 1 included conversion of the third floor into high-end office and conference space. A complete MEP system upgrade was performed for this floor, along with considerable architectural floor plan revisions. Packaged rooftop AHUs with direct expansion cooling and gas-fired heating were designed for space conditioning of the general public spaces. Due to spatial limitations, VRF systems were provided for space conditioning within the offices and conference rooms located below the mezzanine level. Electrical power upgrades and power distribution and lighting were designed to support the proposed mechanical system upgrades and architectural floor plan revisions.
Phase 2 included design for the future conversion of approximately 14,000-SF of office and restaurant space within the adjacent Boiler House and Annex buildings into office/conference space and meeting space. JPA’s MEP design included new water source heat pumps served by the existing building condenser water system. The scope called for the system’s existing cooling towers to be replaced/upgraded. Similar to Phase 1, electrical power upgrades and power distribution and lighting were designed to support proposed mechanical system upgrades and architectural floor plan revisions. Phase 2 construction was truncated as a result of the tenant’s acquisition by a global firm.
