About the 2017 Construction Excellence Award Winner for Best Adaptive Re-Use Project

Contractor: HSC Builders & Construction Managers
Project: Johnson & Johnson: Our Story at the Powerhouse
Owner: Johnson & Johnson
Architect: JacobsWyper Architects

Through the renovation of a historic 1907 building—the oldest building on the Johnson & Johnson global headquarters—and the addition of a 3,000-square-foot lobby, the team created an artfully revitalized, multisensory space that showcases Johnson & Johnson’s rich heritage of 130 years of transformative healthcare innovation. The building’s 10-ton gantry crane was incorporated into the design as its own novel historical feature, and a grand entrance memorial wall was created by repurposing existing bricks from the one-story building. These bricks were rescued through a tedious hand-by-hand demolition.

Best Adaptive Re-Use Project

The Best Adaptive Re-Use Project is intended to recognize a project which has taken an existing building and/or space and enhanced/or created an entirely new use for the space. For example, projects entered into this category could include everything from large-scale rehabilitation of historic buildings for new uses, to smaller-scale instillation of HVAC systems within the original historic building.
