Bartle Hall is a landmark convention and special-event facility spanning eight city blocks in the heart of downtown Kansas City. With more than 450,000 square feet of column-free exhibit space, dozens of meeting rooms, and a nationally recognized convention arena, the facility plays a central role in the city’s economic and civic life. Bartle Hall boasts the largest green ballrooms which have achieved LEED silver certification.
By 2014, its existing roof system had reached the end of its service life, creating persistent leaks and operational concerns. JR&CO partnered with the City of Kansas City to deliver a high-performance, cost-effective roofing solution that addressed these challenges, without the disruption and cost of a full tear-off. The completed roof replacement included a wind-vented solution that restored watertight integrity, improved long-term performance, and extended the life of one of the city’s most important public assets.
