Pulse Design Group was honored to host two facility tours to showcase our design work during the 2025 Healthcare Design Expo & Conference in Kansas City.

The University of Kansas Health System Quivira Campus is a 70,000 SF medical office building that was redesigned mid-construction following a merger of two health systems: The University of Kansas Health System and Olathe Health. Conference attendees learned how the design was able to quickly adapt the program, maintain construction progress, and align the facility with the joint health system’s goals. Special thank you to the tour guides Matt Meier, Alli Hill, Ross Netzel, Justin Brummer, Nick Findley, and Anish Patel.

The University of Kansas Health System Emergency Department Expansion tour offered conference attendees an inside look at a 49,900 SF addition and renovation that enhanced system capacity and efficiency while maintaining uninterrupted patient care. The tour highlighted strategies that allowed construction to take place in a fully operational emergency department, ensuring safety and continuity throughout the process. Special thank you to the tour guides Michael Andracsek, Christian Lee, Michelle Wineinger, and Daniel Rezin.

Thank you to our project partners at JE Dunn Construction, Turner Construction Company, Brack & Associates, P.A., for assisting with the tours, and The University of Kansas Health System and NV5 for the opportunity to share healthcare design practices with a national audience.
