The design team from Design Collective Inc. reviews project plans together.
which is actually going to come down and a quarter portion that will be renovated as the club’s side,” says Matt.
He adds that the venue represents Baltimore’s blue collar heritage of working hard and playing hard. “We are pre- serving the masonry of the existing buildings to celebrate the character of Baltimore as a brick city, from its ware- houses to its row houses,” says Matt. He additionally notes that his team is reusing wood from the original building to create rooflines similar to those of the first club.
MANAGING THE PROCESS
Bryan Adgate is a Senior Preconstruction Manager at Morgan-Keller Construction. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Maryland. During college he was a full-time intern with the National Association of Home Builders, serving as a re- search technician who managed construction processes for “test” homes in the local community; he also worked part-time as a carpenter for a small residential contractor in southern Maryland.
After college, in 2003, he began his professional career at Morgan-Keller Construction as an Estimator and Assistant Project Manager. The firm has over 60 years of experience working on a diverse portfolio of projects in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Today, this LEED-certified professional has a special appre- ciation for how designs can incorporate existing structures
within new buildings. “Sometimes it’s a bit more difficult to try to incorporate and reuse materials, but it’s a sounder, greener way to approach any project,” notes Bryan.
With hands-on field experience in construction early in his career, as well as a carpentry background, Bryan has a unique appreciation for all of the different tradespeople who have come together on this job. “Spending some time in the field to understand what it takes for all the differ- ent trades to come together is an absolute necessity for anyone who is going to get into construction management,” he says.
Bryan serves as the primary point of contact on the project, leading the design team and working hand-in-hand with the developer, overseeing the budget and guiding approval processes—ultimately taking the project from concept to groundbreaking.
He is also a Maryland native familiar with the area’s legacy. Like Kevin, he grew up listening to the music of Hammer- jacks’ star performers, and is excited to be involved in the landmark’s rebirth. “Everyone on the project has a person- al vested interest in it. When you’ve got those types of per- sonal feelings, it’s more than just a job,” Bryan shares.
NOT SINGING THE SAME OLD SONG
This new multilevel complex will consist of three distinct, yet cohesive, spaces. The club side will contain a bar and a small stage, reminiscent of the original venue. A
