State committee probes architectural flaws in Kansas buildings
A Kansas legislative interim committee examined a list of 17 architectural problems across state buildings including Wichita State University life science facility and the Kansas Neurological Institute. Rep. Fred Weaver said the panel will review responsibilities of the State Architect and seek a broader critique of contract practices and possible “sweetheart” arrangements. Two other firms plan claims against the state, totaling significant sums, as lawmakers seek accountability and improved oversight.
