History
PBNDML
Two of the principals (Bob Berkebile and Tom Nelson) were members of a joint venture, PBNDML, that designed the Hyatt Regency Crown Center that was site of the 1981 Hyatt Regency walkway collapse.
Architect Edward Larrabee Barnes was the formal master of the hotel. However two local Kansas City firms merged to formally design the hotel include a consortium of R. Bruce Patty, Bob Berkebile and Tom Nelson from (PBN), and Duncan Monroe Lefevre (DML).[3]
Investigation of the accident determined the failure to be the fault of the structural engineer.[4]
PBNI
In 1987, Patty, Berkebile and Nelson formed a new firm with David Immenschuh, known as PBNI Architects. They were to design One Kansas City Place which is the tallest building in Missouri.
BNIM
In 1991, Berkebile, Nelson and Immenschuh were joined by Steve McDowell and became Berkebile Nelson Immenschuh McDowell (BNIM).
The firm has offices in Kansas City, Houston, Texas; Des Moines, Iowa; Los Angeles, California, and San Diego, California.
