SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

Johns Hopkins University’s first business accelerator “FastForward” opened nearly two years ago, and has been in high demand since. To support local start-ups and drive more economic development in Baltimore, JHU partnered with Gensler to open “FastForward East,” their newest innovation hub. With a short timeline, and a complex set of stakeholders, the design focused on maximizing rentable spaces, providing open and collaborative settings that support a variety of events, and using scale, finishes, and materials that bring attention to the activity inside.
