Headquarters Building
The Canusa Corporation purchased an historic 150-year-old building listed on the National Register of Historic Places located in Baltimore’s Fells Point neighborhood for their new corporate headquarters. Canusa engaged JMT Architecture to renovate the building and transform it into modern office space for the company. The renovation involved shell stabilization, structural reinforcement, new windows, roof and all new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. Low floor to floor dimensions and heavy timber framing required a creative, highly detailed design approach to incorporating mechanical systems into the building while maximizing ceiling height and appearance. The project received basic LEED Certification
