To the east and south of our Cathedral campus is the Bartle Hall Convention Center, one of the country's largest exhibition halls. Soon to be constructed south of the convention center will be a new Performing Arts Center. Beyond the convention center lies the downtown district of office buildings, theaters, restaurants and hotels.
Looking to the north and northwest, the Cathedral is across the street from the new Kansas City Southern headquarters, and one block further north is the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kansas City/St Joseph. The surrounding area is undergoing rejuvenation as an urban living center. Restoration and construction of historically compatible apartments and condominiums are providing housing for a growing community of young adults and new arrivals to the city.
