Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation – Mayetta, Kansas
Our relationship with the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation has provided Bartlett & West the opportunity to work on many projects over the years and as a result have helped improve infrastructure throughout the Reservation. Our design services include work on a variety of projects from road reconstruction to wastewater treatment to the development of new subdivisions.

Because of the diverse design work provided to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation it was a natural fit to team again when Harrah’s Casino, located on the Reservation, decided to expand its establishment. Our services provided for a new 125,000-gpd mechanical wastewater treatment plant, a 200,000-gallon elevated water tower, and all site work and storm water improvements including detention.
 

North Dakota Transportation Bus Storage Facilities – North Dakota Department of Transportation  
The North Dakota Department of Transportation recently embarked on a new journey. Tasked with administering Federal Highway Administration Transit Funds, the NDDOT began the process of selecting its team members to design four separate buildings in four separate communities. The buildings are being used for storage of buses used by the elderly and other incapable of traveling to the larger community of Bismarck on their own. They will ultimately be owned by the regional transit authority, a second member of the project team.

Bartlett & West was selected as the final team member to complete site layout, grading design, legal surveying, utility design, building design and layout, contract administration, construction observation, and construction staking. Working as a team, the design was developed, reviewed, modified, and reviewed again until the all were satisfied we had an economical building to construct and operate for years to come.

Finney County Museum Renovations & Master Planning – Finney County, Kansas
The Finney County Museum sits within Finnup Park and by the Garden City Zoo in the Southwest region of Garden City, Kansas. Bartlett & West used various innovative ideas to provide a wonderfully designed outdoor plaza which included a new additional multi-purpose building, various pathways, and numerous types of beautiful landscape plantings. As expected with a park facility, this site is heavily vegetated with large existing trees. One particular tree of note on the museum grounds is a state champion Lace Bark Elm that sits almost perfectly in the center of the site. All items were designed with a careful eye to detail in order to let the existing museum and additional park facility coexist, yet still let visitors have a cheerful place to gather while visiting the Museum. 

Tasks performed by Bartlett & West included site visitation, schematic design and compiling a final overall master plan. All facets of the project were worked in conjunction with the architects and were produced in a fast and efficient manner in order to meet deadlines set forth by the members of Finney County Museum staff.
 

Bella Sera at The Preserve – Lawrence, Kansas  
Bartlett & West designed Bella Sera at The Preserve to provide an opportunity for individuals to enjoy an attractive and aesthetically pleasing living environment as well as experience many unique amenities. Bella Sera means ‘Beautiful Evening’ in Italian and this message is symbolized throughout our planning process.  Through sensitive design and creative development, Bella Sera at the Preserve incorporates the natural land features such as existing topography, trees and ponds to create harmony and balance between a luxury living atmosphere and Mother Nature.
 

College Hill Redevelopment – Topeka, Kansas
Washburn University is enjoying something of a renaissance these days. Increasing enrollment and successful athletic teams have sparked a surge of activities that has resulted in new on-campus housing, educational buildings, and athletic/recreational facilities. Near this campus site was a blighted area of vacant buildings and boarded-up storefronts that at one time functioned as a small retail neighborhood for local students. Thanks to the foresight of Washburn-Lane Parkway Renovations, LLC, this neighborhood is now being transformed into a stellar example of New Urbanist architecture and Traditional Neighborhood design. The development team, the City of Topeka, Washburn University, the College Hill Neighborhood Association, and Bartlett & West worked together to bring this exciting new mixed-use redevelopment project to the community.

When the College Hill Redevelopment project is finished the local community will benefit from this mixed-use development which will feature the convenience of urban living in the comfort and beauty of a historic neighborhood. The project comprises 216 residential units, approximately 24,000 square feet of retail space, and a 6,500 square foot clubhouse on nine acres within the 100-year-old College Hill neighborhood adjacent to Washburn University.

American Family Insurance – St. Joseph, Missouri
A major building project at the American Family Insurance Company office complex in St. Joseph, Missouri added a new four story office building to the existing building complex along with the associated site improvements. The project included a one and three-quarter mile sanitary sewer main extension to serve the building complex and surrounding properties in the drainage basin and improvements to Mitchell Avenue which provides the main access for the American Family complex and their neighbors across the street, Missouri Western State University.

Bartlett & West provided engineering design and construction plans for the site improvements on the project, including the sanitary sewer main extension, Mitchell Avenue improvements, site grading, paving and storm drainage. In addition, Bartlett & West provided construction layout for the project and construction observation services for the sanitary sewer main extension.
