The Cerner Trails project included a polished concrete topping slab installed at the new Cerner Corporation Headquarters near I-435 and Bannister Rd in southeast Kansas City, Missouri. Cerner is an international healthcare software company. With its third office development in the Kansas city area, the 650,000-square-foot campus includes office, conference and support spaces for 4,000 employees, a dining facility and health clinic. It is the one of the most technologically advanced and wireless office buildings in the country.

Bomanite Licensee, Musselman & Hall Contractors, LLC worked closely with the local architecture firm Gould Evans during the design development phase of the project for Cerner Continuous Campus. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in March 2017 to celebrate the grand opening of the campus, which will be the largest development projects in Missouri’s history by the time it is fully built out. The new Continuous Campus signifies Cerner’s commitment to the future of healthcare management. The building is not only an expression of Cerner’s work, but a reflection of the values of a company pioneering the digital age of the medical industry. Gould Evans designed the campus as a centerpiece of Cerner’s strategy to draw top technology talent to the Kansas City area to solve the complex challenges of their health care clients.

In working with Gould Evans, Musselman & Hall Contractors, LLC assisted with the project specifications and samples. Musselman & Hall, the design team and owner’s representatives met multiple times to discuss project particulars and review samples until the team was able to fine tune the project finishes.

The lobby, corridors, common spaces, dining hall and cafe of the new facility were completed utilizing the Bomanite Renaissance custom polished concrete system. Musselman & Hall placed nearly 50,000 SF of 3” thick, integrally colored, unbonded topping slab. The slab was integrally colored with Bomanite Natural Gray.

After the topping slab had cured sufficiently, Musselman & Hall began the polishing operation. The slab was ground to a course aggregate exposure, densified with Bomanite Stabilizer Pro and polished to a semi-gloss sheen after which the floor was treated with Bomanite VitraFinish and burnished.

Musselman & Hall worked closely with the General Contractor’s team, JE Dunn Construction, to coordinate the completion of the highly decorative work, resulting in a high-end architectural concrete finish ready for the technological wave of the future and beyond.
