KCDC Administrative Update

The Kansas City Design Center would like to share an update on administrative/leadership changes to ensure our project stakeholders, community partners, and supporters are kept fully informed as we continue to carry out our collaborative mission. These are exciting changes as we continue to build our program, fortify our operational resilience and capitalize on the demonstrated staff talent and abilities. With the start of 2022, Mariah Randell, previously the KCDC Project Coordinator, assumed the role of KCDC Director of Operations and Outreach, and will continue to build the program’s partnerships and expand collaborative engagements throughout the city and the region as well as handle the day-to-day operations of the Center. Vladimir Krstic, Academic Programs Director at the KCDC, will continue his academic leadership role guiding and executing the program’s educational mission for the foreseeable future though he will retire from his professorial position at K-State effective June 2022.
We look forward to continuing our advocacy for a better built environment in Kansas City and beyond and focusing on an innovative, sustainable, and equitable future in architecture, design, and planning. Please reach out to Mariah Randell (mrandell@kcdesigncenter.org) with any questions you may have!
