Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center

Overland Park, Kansas

Transformation of the iconic King Louie entertainment center into a dynamic hub for cultural arts and community gathering

A compelling, cost-effective and sustainable plan was developed to reposition the 1950s era King Louie bowling alley and ice chateau as a multipurpose County facility. The Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center preserves an iconic building in the community while meeting the County’s needs for a multipurpose community center with office, classroom, and events space, a flexible black box theatre for the County’s popular Theatre in the Park program and a home for the County Museum.
