Description: Project officials drew heavily from rural barns in the area in the building design for a new library in Grain Valley, east of Kansas City. It has a pitched roof shape, mimicking the old wood of those structures. For its materials, designers chose a wood composite with a dull color and uneven pattern. The orientation of the library intends to create optimal views toward the site while also allowing natural daylight to flow into the interior and to allow for future expansion. The interior design features adult, children and teen book areas, open seating areas, small public meeting rooms, a community room and staff areas.
Dame Chiropractic LLC emerged as the new name of Harshman Chiropractic Clinic LLC with the purchase of the business; Leo Kim added a second venture, Keikeu LLC, to 14 Mill Market; and Mercy Springfield Communities opened its second primary care clinic in Ozark.
