Bishop Hogan Center at Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

Kansas City, Missouri

After developing its campus master plan, SFS Architecture designed a 19,000 square foot, two-story building expansion for the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception’s iconic downtown campus. The Bishop Hogan Center features the 300-seat Father Donnelly Reception Hall as well as a full catering kitchen, the Cathedral's parish offices, a gift shop, choir rehearsal room, meeting spaces, and Morning Glory Emergency Services. Stretching out to engage with Broadway Boulevard, it delicately connects back to the historic Cathedral with a simple glass link.

The new event space was designed to host activities for Catholics as well as the broader community, including wedding receptions, anniversaries, and ordinations, as well as musical performances, meetings, and other community events. 

The Bishop Hogan Center deliberately contrasts the Cathedral's dominant verticality, stretching out horizontally to engage Broadway Boulevard and to avoid interrupting views. Native Kansas Limestone, used in the Cathedral's foundation, becomes the addition's primary facade material, while a delicate glass link connects the two structures.
