Historical Preservation

Kansas Statehouse Preservation and Restoration

This multi-phase, $150 million restoration project involves a complete renovation of the first through fifth floors of the historic Kansas Statehouse as well as expansion of the basement and a new 550-car, bi-level underground parking garage. Special consideration is taken to preserve the historical characteristics of the building while maximizing the building's function with massive improvements to the electrical, heating, plumbing, and cooling systems as well as upgrades to the telecommunications infrastructure.

Pioneer President's Place

Several challenges faced the design team with two 1920's school buildings that had been connected over time with a Commons link. The end result was to be elderly apartments in two LEED certified buildings on the Historic Register. The Commons area was demolished, leaving two separate buildings with green space between. LSA performed plumbing, mechanical and electrical design within the brick structures and were able to meet the intended goals. The developer was pleased as the units were full even prior to completing the project.
