Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Headquarters Lobby Renovation

With McKissack's direction and interior design services, BGE the nation's oldest utility developed and executed a program to renovate its headquarters in downtown Baltimore. The utility's goal was to transform the 1964 structure into a workplace that could accommodate the evolving opportunities and expectations of a thriving, 21st century company. McKissack provided interior design services, furniture specification and selection and branding services for the renovation of the building's first floor and main lobby, which converted the spaces into a welcoming entrance and lounge area for BGE staff and the general public. Additionally, the renovation included the relocation and expansion of the restrooms, human resources suite, reception and security stations and creation of a 285-seat multipurpose room. The focal point of the project is the multifunctional lobby space that serves as BGE's corporate display and a pre-function space for the adjacent training/conferencing facilities and human resources suite. The renovation also included replacement of all the exterior glazing and modernization of the building envelope at that level.
