Ogontz Avenue Revitalization Corp gets new offices

the Before (the former Club Jag)

The after.

OARCs new Office

The welcoming entrance

OARC, the organization responsible for a lot of great revitalization projects along Ogontz Avenue in West Oak Lane, including the West Oak Lane Charter School that we recently completed, called on us to design their new headquarters and administrative offices.  JKRP designed a complete facelift for the former Club Jaguar at the intersection of Ogontz Ave. and Cheltenham Ave.  While the old photo makes Club Jag look really good, we thought it could still use some help. Whereas the nightclub operated mainly after dark, numerous window openings helped to transform the building and provide abundant daylight to the new office areas.  Greg and Glenn did a great job transforming the place and giving it some new life. 

Roof Plank Is Here!!

Mike S. Here:  Glenn and I were out at our weekly construction meeting over at West Oak Lane Charter School.  The roof plank had finally arrived and was being put in place.  It will add much needed classrooms, computer lab, library and gym to the growing school.

"Everybody in the Club (Jaguar) gettin' tipsy..."

Greg here: On Monday,  a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the new office/retail renovation of the illustrious and infamous Club Jaguar. Many city officials and community members were present at this OARC (our client) event and were very excited to breathe new life into this portion of Ogontz Ave. JKRP was also at the scene, with its representatives wishing they had the time to partake in the baby back ribs that were made available across the street at the neighborhood Chili's establishment. Sigh. We filed for permits and construction (hopefully) will begin soon!
