308 Electric Building

JBHM teamed up with Duckworth Realty to restore the Electric 308, a historical landmark, to its original 1930 facade in downtown Jackson. JBHM redesigned the interior of the office building to be a multi-use facility offering offices, housing, and retail with upscale dining. Electric 308 serves as home to Entergy Mississippi. One challenge involved renovating the facility without affecting the technology core, which is Entergy’s epicenter, and JBHM is proud to say there were no interruptions. Also, because of the 10’ floor to floor height throughout the building, a 2 1/2 inch access floor for data was installed, and air units were installed a the peripheral edge of the building, utilizing a new mechanical system. This project was completed using REVITs software. BIM modeling was used from conceptual space planning and design documents to completion of construction documents.
