As the Lenexa Rec Center approaches 10 years of operation improvements are needed to enhance safety, functionality and overall user experience.
The project will enhance the facility by adding acoustic separation to minimize noise between childcare and public areas, improving comfort and productivity. It will also add an emergency exit to meet life-safety standards and comply with modern building and childcare codes. Additionally, the main stairs will be reconfigured and widened to improve circulation, accessibility and operational flow during peak usage.
