A.L. Huber is proud to announce that the Zhou B Art Center has been recognized with a Capstone Award from the Kansas City Business Journal! This honor celebrates exceptional real estate and development projects that make a lasting impact on Kansas City.
A Vision Brought to Life
Previously the historic Crispus Attucks School, the Zhou B Art Center serves as a thriving hub for the visual and performing arts. Our team worked meticulously to blend historic preservation with modern functionality, ensuring the space continues to inspire for generations to come.
The Perfect Balance of Preservation and Innovation
Our renovation focused on maintaining the building’s rich history while enhancing its usability for artists and the community. Key features include:
- Restored original architectural elements, including exposed brick and stairwell handrails
- A modernized auditorium, perfect for performances and events
- Over 40 artist studios fostering creativity and collaboration
A Lasting Impact on Kansas City’s Arts Community
Zhou B Art Center strengthens the connection between the Crossroads Arts District and the 18th & Vine Jazz District, bridging history with contemporary artistic expression. By revitalizing this space, we’ve helped create a dynamic, inspiring environment for artists and visitors alike.
Pushing Boundaries, Winning Awards – Capstone and Best Adaptive Reuse
The Capstone Award is a testament to our commitment to excellence in construction, innovation, and community impact. This recognition follows the project’s Best Adaptive Reuse Award from Historic Kansas City, further solidifying its role as a key cultural asset.
We are honored to be part of this project and look forward to seeing the Zhou B Art Center continue to thrive!
