The Kansas City Police Department set the bar high for their new training facility. They envisioned a state-of-the-art facility and cutting-edge technology to meet their diverse needs. After a nationwide tour of similar institutions, we designed an academy comprised of small, flexible classrooms and virtual training environments that not only met, but exceeded the KCPD’s expectations.
This 107,000-square-foot academy sits on 132 acres in Kansas City, Missouri. It includes indoor and outdoor firing ranges, administrative and storage space,1.2-mile driving course, central energy plant, simulation building, fitness and weight rooms, gymnasium, locker rooms, indoor and outdoor running tracks, video production area, 500-seat auditorium, and flexible, high-tech classrooms.

Rain gardens. Transpiring solar collectors. Pollutant stripper wells. This new Army Reserve Center (ARC) is bursting at its insulated concrete form walls with sustainable design features. Built in the often-cloudy Pacific Northwest, the center features huge expanses of energy-efficient glass and solar tubes to maximize available daylighting and was designed to harmonize with the surrounding white pine forest.
Responding to the needs of a growing student body, our team designed these dual facilities for Newman University. The two are linked to the center of campus and connected by a rotunda that ties and unifies both facilities. Spaces were designed to be as inclusive and flexible as possible to maximize engagement and use by students and visitors alike.
