The Kearns Building renovation updated a historic ten-story downtown Salt Lake City office building for continued commercial use. Improvements introduced contemporary tenant amenities, including a lounge, fitness and yoga facilities, and an outdoor terrace, alongside upgrades to common areas and building systems.

Reaveley provided targeted structural modifications to support these improvements within the existing building. Our work focused on reinforcement for terrace and landscape loads, framing changes that replaced raised restroom floors with flush assemblies on levels two through ten, and supports for entry glazing and equipment. The work coordinated new amenities and accessibility improvements with the existing structural framework, allowing the building to serve modern office needs while preserving its historic character.
