PROJECT PROFILE AWARDS Project Name: Jo-Ann Stores Location: Columbus, Ohio Designer: GDP Group Contractor: Construction One The Jo-Ann Stores project was a collaborative effort between the owner and Construction One. The new prototype is designed to take the Jo-Ann Stores brand into the future, thanks to a series of innovative design ideas. Those ideas include a studio to host events and craft classes, touchscreen kiosks that pull up craft projects from Pinterest, and a custom sewing service. During the renovation, the store was never closed, which helped make things run smoother across all fronts.

The facility is built for athletes who are seeking to play beyond the high school level.
