Mid-Continent Public Library branch
Lee’s Summit
Sapp Design Associates Architects PC and Helix Architecture & Design Inc. (Kansas City) designed the Colbern Road Branch Library, a 33,000-square-foot, $9.7 million building. Sapp Design officials said the innovative library also will house a business team and co-working space. J.E. Dunn Construction Co. is the general contractor for the project, which includes a 240-seat flexible community room, dedicated children and teen areas, and a coffee shop. Funded by the passage of Proposition L in 2016, Mid-Continent Public Library is investing $113 million to enhance its libraries. Engineers on the project are Olsson Inc., civil and structural; Ochsner Hare & Hare, the Olsson Studio (Kansas City), landscape; and True Engineering Group LLC, mechanical, electrical and plumbing. The project is slated for completion by next year.
Plaza Shopping Center gained an arcade with the March 1 opening of The Flying Lap LLC; the repurposing of space operated by Burrell Behavioral Health resulted in the March 18 opening of the company’s second autism center; and a group of downtown business owners teamed up to reopen J.O.B. Public House.
