Park Heights Campus Redevelopment

The JCC is thrilled to announce the redevelopment of the Park Heights campus, now renamed the Goldsmith Campus.

In addition to a completely renovated Center for Sports & Wellness for the JCC, the new community campus will feature offices for The Associated’s headquarters, the establishment of the Ellen W.P. Wasserman Jewish Library of Baltimore, and the creation of a new multipurpose conference space for the community.

The renovations to the building will be done in four to five phases over a period of 18 to 24 months. While the exact timing for each phase may shift, the construction will take place in the following order:  

PHASE 1 — Mobilization and Pre-Construction Work

PHASE 2 — Beginning May 19, 2024 | 6-9 Months

  • Begin construction on front of building, current lobby, preschool wing, and second floor (which will be used for Associated offices)
  • Begin using the café atrium as the temporary entrance, including front desk, security desk and membership office
  • Learn more about changes to the main entrance, accessible parking, Studio One class location and Gymnasium schedules. Review Before Your Next Visit >
  • May 22-29, 2024: Please note 5-day partial closing of Fitness Center, Fitness Too, Cycling and Personal Training Studios. Review Before Your Next Visit >

    During the majority of Phases 1 and 2 all of the normal Sports & Wellness facilities will continue to be operational for members. We will update with any changes.

PHASE 3 — 4-6 Months
Renovation of the lower level, including fitness center, locker rooms and more!

PHASE 4 — 1-2 Months
