We recently had the pleasure to partner with the Kansas Aviation Museum's STEAM Summer Camp to inspire the next generation of innovators! One of our designers, Mattie, had a great time introducing campers ages 6–11 to the world of Architecture & Design through interactive discussions and hands-on activities.

Together, they explored how creativity, problem-solving, and design help bring ideas to life—from aviation to the spaces around us. It was so much fun seeing these young minds discover that great design is everywhere and that their ideas have the power to make an impact.

Exciting progress continues on our new office building as the project moves closer to completion! Interior finishes are coming together, with countertops and tons of custom millwork now being installed throughout the space. The industrial steel stair systems are taking shape and will serve as striking architectural features connecting the building's levels. Paint is being completed, cloud ceilings are being installed, and tile work is progressing throughout key areas. Carpet installation will soon be underway, along with exterior landscaping to put the finishing touches on the building.

It's rewarding to see so many elements come together as our future home continues to transform from a construction site into a vibrant, collaborative workplace.

Big thanks to all the subs helping bring this project together!

This 3,200 SF credit union features four offices, a breakroom, a workroom, two interior teller stations, and three ITMs on the exterior. A wood-slat-look cloud ceiling highlights the lobby, complemented by three-way surround clerestory windows that bring in abundant natural light.
