Kiowa County Commons

After a tornado devastated the City of Greensburg, Kansas, the community needed a place to foster community growth and interaction. The Kiowa County Commons was created to meet that need, bringing several amenities together into one highly integrated facility and offering rural residents unprecedented access to resources, education, and community spaces.

Located in Greensburg, the 20,210‑square‑foot facility houses the Greensburg branch of the Kiowa County Public Library, the Kiowa County Kansas State University Research and Extension Office, the Kiowa County Historical Museum, and the Greensburg/Kiowa County Community Media Center. Designed with a commitment to sustainability and resilience, the project achieved LEED Gold Certification.
