Jarrett Industries is a 15, 230 sf warehouse and 6,000 sf office for a packaging company.  Situating this building and parking lot on a very difficult track of land was the real challenge of this project.  John E. Day Associates, Inc. experienced site difficulties from both practical and aesthetic points of view in constructing this building for Jarrett Industries, Inc.  To begin, elevation problems made it difficult to configure the proposed designed building and then, construction began without resolution on final details.  Also, work and design were required to be completed around pre-made employee furniture and workstations that were to arrive only three days prior to occupation.  In the end, the interior construction layout accommodated the pre-made furnishings without a problem.  Budget and time frame were also maintained.   .

1995 Excellence in Construction Merit Award

Category      New Projects - Up to $750,000
Project      Harford Day School
Address      715 Moores Mill Road, Bel Air, MD
Client      Harford Day School Board of Directors
Architect      Frederick Ward Associates
Project Manager      Jay Puhl

This project started in April and had to be completed by the start of the school year in September.  Since the project started while school was in session, it presented some challenges, such as child safety and access or parents and staff.  The school used it as a learning tool and the students would visit the site and ask questions.  The mechanical and electrical systems were design build.   This created some problems such as crossing the gallery with its high 14' ceiling tied to structural members.  Running plumbing and sprinkler lines to certain areas presented challenges in trying to keep them in heated spaces.  The interior has many special features, such as bulkheads, light coves and hollow spaces created out of trim.  The trim was painted various colors to create a special atmosphere.  The wood frame building with split face block, brick and EIFS exterior, fits nicely with its surroundings.

1992 Remodeling Award of Excellence

Best Historic Remodeling

Perryville Train Station

Perryville, MD

Architect:  Fry & Welch Associates, P.C.

With the return of passenger train service to northeast Maryland came the need to restore this 1905 brick Georgian Revival train station to its original elegance.  The environmental concerns of lead paint abatement and asbestos removal only complicated this already involved and difficult historic restoration.  All millwork from the smallest cove molding to the oak benches in the waiting area were replicated closely with the original and new bricks were painted with a SPAR varnish to match the appearance of the original bricks that had weathered over an 87 year period.  Every existing window was restored with the use of epoxy and wood consolidation methods.  Not to be overlooked is the extensive repair of the structure which involved shoring up a 56 joist floor system.  Commuters on the revived passenger line can now enjoy this lovely restored train station on their way into the city.
