NOMA Conference 2024 Tours T. Rowe Price Headquarters in Baltimore

“Reclaiming the Harbor,” a walking tour of the new waterfront headquarters building, will take NOMA Conference attendees on a journey through the history of Baltimore’s inner harbor and its up-and-coming urban edge.

The tour will be led by four members of the KPF project team and focus on the urban history of the waterfront area recently transformed by T. Rowe Price Headquarters and the adjacent Point Park. KPF’s design of the harbor-facing development turns a major brownfield site into a mixed-use environment defined by connectivity and community, counteracting the decay left by the industrial decline of the 1950s. Two human-scaled program bars, enclosing class-A flexible office space, create a pedestrian streetscape that redefines the zone as active public space. The surrounding grounds connect into Point Park and reflect the natural forms and flora of the Chesapeake Bay biome.

The NOMA 2024 Conference is hosted by NOMA Baltimore at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront and will feature over 50 sessions of seminars, workshops, and keynote presentations by and for minority architects and designers. “Reclaiming the Harbor” is listed as an intermediate level course and offers HSW credits to participants. The tour has a maximum capacity of 20 and will run from 8:30am to 9:30am on October 25, the 3rd day of the five-day conference. Learn more and register to attend here.
