Tom Nelson, FAIA
1935 - 2026

The family of Tom Nelson and BNIM are saddened to share that Tom left the physical world he so dearly loved, and committed his life to making better, on Tuesday, June 30. First and foremost, deeply committed to his family and friends, Tom was a founder and leader of Berkebile Nelson Immenschuh McDowell [BNIM], where he enjoyed extraordinary success as a designer of important buildings and as a planner involved in the foundational work that led to the renaissance of Kansas City we see today.

More information on Tom's work and legacy coming soon.
