The Maryland Heights Fire Protection District Headquarters Engine House One project will include a complete state-of-the-art upgrade of the existing 22-year-old, 18,902-square-foot firehouse, located at 2600 Schuetz Road, plus a 2,112-square-foot living quarters addition and a 4,300-square-foot apparatus support addition on the east and north sides of the building. The new design includes more capacity for emergency equipment, improved operational areas, a severe weather safe room, living quarters that promote gender equity, dedicated decontamination area with specialized gear extractors to reduce the risk of firefighter cancer, and removal and replacement of all mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection components.

The Dallas County South Dallas Government Center is a new ground-up 73,000 SF two-story structure constructed at the southern edge of Dallas County, immediately adjacent to Interstate 20 and Polk Street. It serves to replace and consolidate three existing aging facilities under one roof. The new building will house the County Tax Office, Veteran’s Affairs, County Constable, Sheriff’s Traffic Division, Sheriff’s Dispatch, Sheriff’s K-9 Unit, and two (2) Justice of the Peace Courts. Dispatch has been designed as a ICC-500 2015 Storm Shelter that will withstand winds up to 200MPH and remain operational in a severe weather event. This facility will also serve as a back-up Dispatch center for both the City of Dallas and City of Lancaster.

KAI was selected to provide architectural and interior design services on the Reby Cary Youth Library located in Fort Worth Texas. The 8,000 SF facility will provide a well-rounded selection of informational books targeted to children's educational and curricular-support needs. The Reby Cary Youth Library will provide open spaces for exploration, collaboration, socialization and learning. The project will also include such amenities as a sensory garden, maker space (which will utilize technology for creative activities), and study rooms. In addition to the core services provided, KAI is responsible for coordinating the civil, landscape, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing engineering, fire protection design, AVL/technology, and cost estimating services through our consultants. BIM technology was utilized to assist in the Owner's visualization of the designs development. The technology was specifically incorporated for conceptual renderings during the schematic design and design development phases. We also plan to utilize BIM technology during the construction document phase to assist in systems coordination with other disciplines. The design team has been working closely with an award-winning artist to infuse art into the building design, which will allow the Owner to reduce costs in the long run.
