Institutional construction presents unique challenges
requiring innovative solutions. From an inspirational
setting for worship in a beautiful church sanctuary
to the eye-catching architectural structures so often
found in municipal buildings, each project requires
a unique approach to solve construction needs specific
to that project. Larrison Construction’s experience
with past institutional projects and our ability to
react to unusual circumstances position us to be exceptionally
well-qualified to take on these projects.
Breaking ground on a contemporary building for the
West Branch of the Kansas City Public Library began
normally enough. The project combined traditional
building materials, brick, open steel frame, stucco
and glass in a distinctive new look with a large atrium
and bold contemporary detail. But, the usual challenges
of mixing these traditional building techniques were
made more difficult by an unusual winter, one of the
coldest on record. In order to keep the project on
schedule, construction of a temporary heated enclosure
was required so the temperature sensitive phases of
the work could continue through the winter, keeping
a July opening on track.
