KPFF - St. Louis

Great teams are built in and out of the office. It was a fun evening connecting with the KPFF St. Louis team, sharing laughs, and making time for the relationships that strengthen our work.

KPFF St. Louis is proud to have provided structural engineering services for the Missouri Primary Care Association Headquarters, the new Roy Blunt Center for Healthcare Integration & Innovation in Jefferson City, Missouri.

Working alongside Arcturis, our team helped bring this three-story building to life with features that support collaboration, innovation, and community impact. The project includes two freestanding structurally engineered bamboo entrance pergolas, a mass timber entrance lobby with Southern Yellow Pine CLT decking and glulam beams and columns, a monumental stair within a three-story atrium, an auditorium with a rooftop photovoltaic system, first-floor museum space, and collaborative office and conference areas.

This project reflects the power of thoughtful design and engineering working together to create spaces that serve people in meaningful ways.

KPFF Team: Joseph Carpenter, PE, LEED AP, and Jules Kere, PhD

Happy (late) Pi Day from KPFF St. Louis! 🥧

Today, we’re celebrating the constant that supports structural engineering in St. Louis. From early concepts to final design, π plays an important role in the calculations and problem-solving behind the work we do every day.

Here’s to the math behind great engineering.

It's Girl Day! Today, we celebrate the next generation of women in engineering.

Engineering needs diverse perspectives, creative thinkers, and bold leaders. At KPFF, we’re committed to engineering opportunities for all. Whether through mentorship, internships, volunteering, or sharing our stories, we believe visibility matters.

To every girl who’s curious about how things work, who loves math and science, or who wants to build something that lasts - there’s a place for you in engineering.

Project Spotlight!

Structural work is officially complete at the Wichita Biomedical Campus, with the full project on track for completion in 2027.

Located in Wichita, Kansas, this new 370,000 square foot Health Sciences Education Center will serve as a centralized campus bringing together programs and clinics for the KU School of Medicine, KU School of Pharmacy, Wichita State University College of Health Professions, and WSU Tech. The five story facility will be supported by a central utility plant and designed to foster collaboration across disciplines.

This campus is built to support the future of health care through:
• Emerging research
• Biomedical and health care education
• Advanced laboratories
• Clinical research environments

Looking forward to seeing this space continue to take shape as it prepares to serve students, educators, and the broader community.

KPFF St Louis showed up with the Valentine’s spirit. From sweet treats to shared laughs, it was a great way to celebrate the team that makes it all happen.💌

Thirsty Thursday with the KPFF St Louis team. Good conversations, great company, and a chance to step away from the desk and connect. Moments like these keep our office culture strong.💙🥂

A landmark project is taking shape for the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, blending new construction with thoughtful renovation to support both performance and practice.

The project features a monumental new entry, a structurally and acoustically isolated practice facility, and renovations to the theater seating area to enhance the audience experience. A combination of steel, reinforced concrete, and curtainwall systems supports the complex structural and acoustic demands while creating a strong architectural presence.

KPFF is proud to be part of a project that celebrates music, performance, and community, providing spaces that support artists and audiences alike for years to come.
