The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is the largest organization of blind/low-vision people in the United States. NFB’s headquarters, located in the South Baltimore/Baltimore City, currently occupies over 100,000 square feet of office, sleeping quarters, a large assembly room, a large braille library and education center. As part of their daily operations, the building frequently hosts meetings, workshops, symposiums, and other types of large events. These events draw attendees from across the country-organizational leaders, youth, seniors, community members, families, and other visitors.
Therefore, visitors may stay a night or more at the building during such events. As such NFB identified a need for improved guest capacity and related multi-function spaces with the creation of a hospitality suite as opposed to simple sleeping quarters.
The space was tailored to meet the goals of the organization while providing a warm and engaging space that tells a story of courage, love and respect. The space has different settings that are comfortable and welcoming, characterized by furniture, finishes, materials, interior architecture and lighting. The new experience resonates with guests because every aspect relates to a strong narrative as defined by the brand promise. “Together with love, hope and determination, we transform dreams into reality.”
