Taken from Wikipedia, "1 Memorial Drive is the headquarters complex of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The 618,000 square foot complex consisting of a 14-story tower and two-story base containing its cash processing and operations facilities was designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners was dedicated June 11, 2008, and replaced its headquarters at 925 Grand. Henry N. Cobb was the lead architect. The complex is located in Penn Valley Park opposite the Liberty Memorial on the site that was the former St. Mary's Hospital where ironically Jo Zach Miller, Jr., president of the bank who oversaw the construction of 925 Grand, had spent his last days. It was the first Federal Reserve building built after the September 11 attacks prompted increased security at federal buildings. The complex (which moved from Downtown Kansas City) is in a park setting and its 15.7 acre property was landscaped by Laurie Olin of Olin Associates."
