Welcome to Treanor Topeka: a trusted partner in justice, education, preservation, and site planning

Treanor’s Topeka, Kansas, office is a vital part of our firm’s longstanding presence in the region. As an experienced Topeka architecture firm, we proudly serve public and private clients across Kansas and beyond with experience in justice architecture, historic preservation, PK-12 school architecture, and site planning.

Our multidisciplinary team in Topeka is known for its thoughtful, client-driven approach to design. Whether we’re helping restore a historic courthouse, designing a healthy and secure justice facility, planning a new school, or shaping land to serve people and environment alike, we partner with communities to create spaces that endure.


Justice architecture: building trust and functionality for critical public facilities

As specialists in justice architecture, Treanor’s Topeka team works with counties, municipalities, and state agencies to design modern, secure, and equitable justice environments. From courthouses to juvenile/youth facilities, correctional facilities, and public safety campuses, our team understands the unique operational, legal, and community demands of the justice system.

Our justice projects prioritize:

  • Dignified spaces that promote public trust and safety
  • Secure, efficient layouts for staff and users
  • Trauma-informed and behavioral health-integrated design
  • Long-term flexibility and adaptability for future needs

With decades of experience, Treanor is a leader in justice facility design nationally and throughout the Midwest—and our Topeka office plays a critical role in that legacy.

Our Topeka office enjoys a beautiful view of one of our lengthiest projects, the Kansas Statehouse. Its renovation stimulated a 72% increase in local tourism the year after it was completed.

Historic preservation architects: protecting Kansas’s architectural legacy

Historic preservation is one of Treanor’s core disciplines, and our historic preservation architects in Topeka are passionate stewards of the state’s built heritage.
