University of Kansas Medical Center Health Education Building

Kansas City, Kansas, USA

Featuring a distinctive building-within-a-building, the transparent ‘lantern box’ design surrounds two interior structures embedded with terracotta ‘ribs’ as well as a green roof and temperature controls. Visually appealing and high-performing, Kawneer’s curtain wall systems, storefront framing and entrances enhance natural daylight and illuminate the building at night, enabling students, staff and visitors to view the dynamic world within.
