“The building is one of 31 pediatrics-exclusive research facilities in the U.S. The nine-story structure has an all-glass facade. Its design incorporates scientific imagery to reflect the research being done inside. For example, the main staircase resembles a DNA strand.”Johnson County Medical Examiner Facility
“Johnson County had been contracting out medical examination services, but residents saw the need for the county to have its own facility and passed a public safety sales tax to fund construction.”
