I like the green and blue colors. The purple messes with my eyes a bit.

If you zoom in at the Kauffman Center you'll see a couple towers to the west of it that don't currently exist. Something from a previous study the architects forgot to remove from their downtown massing model?

Jul 1, 2022

The University of Missouri-Kansas City envisions a multistory building to house several programs in the Health Sciences District, but first it has to raise $60 million.

The state appropriated $40 million for the estimated $100 million facility, and the school will have to raise the rest privately.

The building would house the schools of dentistry and medicine, the Data Science and Analytics Innovation Center, and the biomedical engineering program, UMKC said in a release. UMKC would use the first several floors, and additional floors may be made available to health-related tenants, the release says. The school’s spaces will include clinics, simulation labs, dental emergency services and greater interprofessional collaboration.

“A united medical and dental building will be a signature facility, as there is only one such institution in the country with this combined learning and clinical environment,” UMKC Chancellor Mauli Agrawal said in the release.

120 million should be a sizeable building. Is there a rendering of the actual building?

I believe this would go on the NE corner of 25th and Charlotte. I don't know if the above renderings are accurate at all, but this could possibly be one, or both of the towers (if it is a twin tower building) between the numbers 2 and 3.
