Historic Kansas State Capitol

JE Dunn Construction was hired to preserve and restore the historic Kansas Statehouse located in the heart of Topeka. The project was designed as a 10-year, six-phase project, which allowed for staggered completion dates of the interior restoration of the east, west, north, and south wings. Much of the interior space was restored to its earlier grandeur and includes the restoration of the Governor’s office to its earlier circa 1900s design. The Senate Chamber also received notable restoration including the return of the wild Kansas cherry wood desks dating back to 1885.

Additional projects consisted of the construction of a new two-level, 561-car underground parking garage situated below the north lawn of the Capitol, new underground vaults for additional office space and new mechanical systems, a new Visitor Center with a U-shaped drive, and a north plaza.
