Johns Hopkins University
Eisenhower Library

Baltimore, MD

Completion Date: 1997

Duration: eighteen months

Contract Value: $3,107,477

Description:

This six-story facility consists of four levels below grade and two levels above grade. Each of the six levels were renovated in multiple phases.

The scope of work included asbestos removal, selective demolition, new mechanical and electrical systems and all new architectural finishes. The new wood casework and wood shelving were nominated for craftsmanship awards by The Building Congress & Exchange of Metropolitan Baltimore.

Due to the nature of the university library, construction noise was held to a minimum at all times, as the building was fully occupied throughout construction. In addition, certain areas of the building housed original, historic books and periodicals, which required extreme measures to protect and preserve.
