Leigh + O’Kane provided structural engineering services for the addition, renovation, and adaptive reuse of the Mattie Rhodes Center in Kansas City, Missouri, supporting the continued growth of a vital community-serving facility.

The project required careful integration of new structural elements within existing conditions to support expanded programming while preserving the functionality of the facility. Leigh + O’Kane worked closely with the project team to deliver structural solutions that balanced adaptability, durability, and long-term performance.

This project reflects Leigh + O’Kane’s experience supporting community-focused facilities, where thoughtful engineering plays a key role in creating spaces that serve diverse populations and evolving needs.
