New Horizon Academy – Leawood, KS

New Horizon Academy is a family-owned, nationally-recognized childcare company with 100 schools in Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado, Idaho and Iowa. The new facility supports learning programs for infants, toddlers, preschool and pre-kindergarten children (6 weeks to 5 years old). Construction consisted of a heavy wood frame structure with with ceilings and windows over 60% of the perimeter of the building. The school also includes a FEMA rated storm shelter to protect all building occupants.

This facility was completed in December 2022. Icon was selected for the project and promptly commenced Value Engineering efforts to align the project design with the owner's budget. The primary goal is to deliver a high-quality wood framed daycare that exceeds expectations, within budget and on time. Working within certain jurisdictions brings certain challenges and opportunities, with our extensive experience working throughout Johnson County the team was able to proactively collaborate with building officials to ensure a smooth project completion and turnover. Icon Structures shares NHA's commitment to children and their families, fostering a remarkable relationship with New Horizons that spans several successful projects. Currently constructing our fifth facility together, our shared dedication to creating safe and nurturing learning environments is evident in every endeavor. Our collaboration has embraced the challenges inherent in each ground-up construction project, resulting in the successful realization of unique and exceptional spaces for children. Through our ongoing work with New Horizons and their dedicated team, we are not only committed to the present but also eagerly anticipate fortifying our relationship for the future. Together, we remain passionate about our shared mission to provide the best possible care and support for the little ones, contributing to their growth and success on every level imaginable.
