The Richard Bolling Federal Building was built in 1965 and is a 21-story building located in downtown Kansas City. Over the course of 12 years, JE Dunn led the construction of the 4-phase occupied office renovation, exterior retrofit, and new plaza entries. Renovations included the complete renovation of all 21 floors, including asbestos and lead paint abatement; spray fireproofing; rail seismic upgrades; and new electrical, fire, and mechanical systems. The project also included renovations on the ground floor and replacement of sub-basement AHUs and piping. Exterior work included replacement of all windows and re-caulking of exterior facade. The project included a two-story addition to the building’s south entry, landscaping, perimeter blast protection, and childcare drop off. Lastly, a key feature of the project was the exterior courtyard renovation. The plaza consists of architectural white concrete, granite foundation walls, a new reflecting pool, security bollards, and landscaping.
