On February 28^th, Rosemann Kansas City colleagues, Michael Gaillard (pictured above) and Erin Morris (pictured below) volunteered at Guadalupe Centers High School. The local charter school partnered with non-profit Prep KC to host a career day for the freshman class.

The objective was to give students a glimpse at a diverse range of potential career paths and to engage with professionals in those careers. Michael and Erin were provided a platform to answer students’ questions, exchange ideas, and share experiences about their careers in architecture. 

Many of the students attending Guadalupe Centers High School will be the first in their families to apply for and to attend college. This exposure to a wide variety of professions is critical to their future. Career Day helped them to envision what success would look like, as well as the relevance of rigorous academic preparation in high school! Thank you GCHS and Prep KC for inviting Rosemann to participate!

On February 13^th, Jason Swords, Principal of Sunflower Development Group (pictured below), invited the community and those involved in Blenheim Elementary School’s revitalization to celebrate the building’s new lease on life. Rosemann’s Edward English, AJ Dolph, Daniel Nagati and Scott Rosemann attended the Grand Opening.

 

The historic Blenheim School at 2411 E. 70^th Terrace, Kansas City, MO 64132 was built between 1924 and 1930 and provided cutting-edge educational facilities to the surrounding neighborhood. Following its closure in 2009, the structure experienced flooding, fire and vandalism.

Blenheim’s recent rehabilitation was made possible by an outstanding team of professionals including Sunflower Development Group, Rau Construction Company, Rosemann & Associates, P.C., BC Engineers, Hoss & Brown Engineers, Shaw Electric Company, Taliaferro & Brown Inc, and Rosin Preservation. The team’s work returned the shuttered building to life, restoring the façade and the auditorium and incorporating unique historic features into an affordable housing community of 52 studio, 1 and 2-bedroom apartments for seniors (55+).

Amenities include a fitness room, laundry facilities, business center, community meeting space with kitchen, and movie theater. After nearly a decade of blight, Blenheim School Apartments is once again an asset to the surrounding neighborhood.

Congratulations to Rosemann’s Kansas City office on the completion of another amazing senior living project!

Rosemann was a lead sponsor in this year’s 2019 USGBC State of the Chapter & Social Kick Off. On January 24, 2019, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) – Missouri Gateway Chapter members, Board of Directors, Committee members and guests gathered at a fun kick-off party at the Missouri History Museum to celebrate USGBC’s accomplishments of 2018, as well as to plan their activities for 2019.  

USGBC Missouri Gateway Chapter’s aim is to support transformation of the built environment with a strong organization that excels in member services and engagement, education, advocacy and marketing around green building practices and principles. 

Highlights of the evening included a silent auction. Rosemann staff, including Nancy Rodney, John Williams, Erin Wright and Kathy Sorkin attended the event. Nancy, a former President of the chapter said, “We are very happy that Rosemann was able to serve as a sponsor and support the great work of this organization. This event highlights the contributions of our volunteers. We will continue to be engaged and benefit from our membership in the U.S. Green Building Council – Missouri Gateway Chapter.”

On January 30^th, Kathy Sorkin, Vice-President of Rosemann & Associates, P.C. (pictured 5^th  from right) joined constituents from over 20-member organizations of Missouri Workforce Housing Association (MOWHA) at the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City, Missouri, where MOWHA hosted their Lobby Day.

Over 50 meetings with leaders in the Senate and House, as well as with members’ own personal representatives were held throughout the day. The primary focus of the discussions was to encourage state legislators to support the restoration of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. 

MOWHA’s Executive Director Jeff Smith and Project Coordinator Kelly Brown led the group, which included developers, general contractors, architects, property managers, non-profit organizations, and sub-contractors. “It is now more important than ever to make sure that state legislators hear our concerns. Attendance was great and both legislators and their staff were very receptive to our cause,” said Jeff Smith, MOWHA’s Executive Director.

The LIHTC program, administered by the Missouri Housing Development Commission, has been a critical tool in providing financing for the development of new and renovated affordable housing for seniors, individuals with special needs and disabilities, and working families throughout the State.
