AEC Intern Partnership program
BSE Structural Engineers and the City of Lenexa team had the honor of hosting the 2nd rotation for the 2023 A/E/C Intern Partnership coordinated by BHC. The morning began at Lenexa’s Thompson Barn, where the interns learned about the various stages of a project, from the initial conception and planning process, through the stages of design and construction, with a showcase on the Lenexa Justice Center project. We discussed the project’s coordination using BIM 3D modeling, as well as project challenges and the state-of-the-art features incorporated into the design and construction of this $73 million project. A tour of the Lenexa Justice Center project followed the day’s session.
New Lenexa Justice Center Topping Out Ceremony
BSE joined fellow project team members at the Steel Topping Out Ceremony for the new Lenexa Justice Center. The event, along with project team members, the City of Lenexa, Finkle+Williams Architecture, Roth Sheppard Architects, LLP, JE Dunn, Henderson Engineers, and Renaissance Infrastructure Consulting, took place on the site of the future home of the Lenexa Police Department and Municipal Courts.
Lenexa’s new Justice Center will be home to Lenexa’s Police Headquarters, Municipal Court, Community Room and Police Training facility. The project includes a 97,000 SF two-story police and court building and a secondary 23,500 SF training building.
Congratulations to the project team on this major milestone!
