Northlands Coliseum. Culture. Heritage. Community. Infrastructure. Asset. A Community Led Proposal for the Betterment of the Community. Why not take another look. • The City owns a community asset with infrastructure replacement value in excess of $200M • Demolition is costly ($15M to $30M) and risky – LRT, disruption to neighbourhood, etc. • Demolition will produce over 30,000 tonnes of demolition debris • Bringing land to “developable status” when considering re-grading requirements, LRT integrations would likely double to triple the demolition costs and far surpass commercial value of the land. • Commercial development will likely take decades • Successful re-use of similar facilities has been done across North America Some Questions. • Have we explored the potential benefits of salvaging the Coliseum? • What is the highest and best use of an existing infrastructure asset? • What is the most responsible thing to do from a sustainability and waste reduction aspect? • Is the Coliseum useable as a re-purposed infrastructure asset? • What are the community’s needs with respect to culture, music and performing arts, sports and recreation? • Are there lessons to learn the re-use of similar assets in other cities? A Proven Possibility. • Learning from the repurposing of Maple Leaf Gardens to the Mattamy Athletic Centre (Toronto), the repurposed Kemper Arena to the Hy-Vee Arena (Kansas City), and the recreational repurposing of the Richmond Olympic Oval post Vancouver Games. Large sport facilities provide a unique opportunity to explore a long term impact for the local community recreation and sport tourism space. Maple Leaf Mattamy Athletic Centre. Gardens.

Framework for the Study. • Approximately 500,000 SF of space = a valuable infrastructure asset – likely in excess of $200M in replacement value • Approximately 500,000 SF of space = a large and expensive redevelopment project – likely $50M to >$100M depending on extent of modifications to the existing facility • Balance and optimize: Capital costs; Operating costs; Replacement costs; Community benefits • Maximize the existing infrastructure value within the current asset while expanding on the potential uses and the potential return on investment for the City in financial and social benefit terms • Options for best use for community organizations and with consideration to sustainable financing and operating models • Proper study should be able to be completed within 6-8months with procurement through the City’s Open Order program Possibilities. • We have focused initial thoughts on sports and recreation, but the possibilities are endless… • Music and Performing Arts • Community Gathering Space • Multi-purpose rooms • Community administration and collaboration • Community storage LEVEL 01 FLOOR PLANS N Scale 1:1000 VELODROME TRACK NEW AMENITY SPACE RENOVATED AMENITY SPACE EXISTING PROPOSED DESIGN (2021) 1 LEVEL 02 FLOOR PLANS N Scale 1:1000 VELODROME TRACK NEW AMENITY SPACE RENOVATED AMENITY SPACE OPEN TO BELOW EXISTING PROPOSED DESIGN (2021) 2 LEVEL 03 FLOOR PLANS N Scale 1:1000 VELODROME TRACK NEW AMENITY SPACE RENOVATED AMENITY SPACE WAYNE GRETZKY DRIVE PARKING WAYNE GRETZKY DRIVE PARKING FOOD COURTS UP TO UP TO L5 L4 ADMIN DOWN W/ W/ TO L1 C C W/ W/ C C OPEN TO BELOW (DEMOLITION OF LOWER BOWL BELOW) W/ W/ C C W/ W/ C C UP TO CONTROL BASKETBALL L4 POINT HALL OF FAME ACCESS TO LRT/ 118 AVE ACCESS TO LRT/ 118 AVE EXISTING PROPOSED DESIGN (2021) 3 LEVEL 04 FLOOR PLANS N Scale 1:1000 NEW FLOOR NEW AMENITY SPACE RENOVATED AMENITY SPACE FLOOR INFILL PERMITS CONSTRUCTION OF (8) FIBA COURTS, (16) NEW DRESSING ROOMS, (2) OFFICIALS ROOMS B2 C1 F1 E2 E1 B1 B E H1 A1 A C F OFFICIALS OFFICIALS H H2 A2 D1 D G G1 D2 G2 C2 F2 EXISTING PROPOSED DESIGN (2021) 4 LEVEL 05 FLOOR PLANS N Scale 1:1000 NEW FLOOR NEW AMENITY SPACE RENOVATED AMENITY SPACE LOCKER W/ W/ LOCKER ROOM C C ROOM WARM-UP/ STRETCHING OPEN TO BELOW OPEN OPEN FITNESS FITNESS W/C W/C EXISTING PROPOSED DESIGN (2021) 5 LEVEL 06 FLOOR PLANS N Scale 1:1000 NEW FLOOR NEW AMENITY SPACE RENOVATED AMENITY SPACE SKY SUITE INFRASTRUCTURE TO REMAIN (OVERLOOKING NEW BASKETBALL / VOLLEYBALL COURTS) OPEN TO BELOW REMOVAL OF 300 SECTION SEATS WOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HEIGHT CLEARANCE ABOVE FITNESS SPACE EXISTING PROPOSED DESIGN (2021) 6 N SECTION EAST-WEST Scale 1:600 EXISTING RUNNING RUNNING TRACK TRACK CHANGE BASKETBALL BASKETBALL BASKETBALL BASKETBALL CHANGE PROPOSED DESIGN (2021) ROOMS ROOMS VELODROME INFIELD 7 N SECTION NORTH-SOUTH Scale 1:600 EXISTING OPEN SKY SUITES RUNNING FITNESS TRACK RUNNING WARMUP/ STRETCHING TRACK CHANGE CHANGE BASKETBALL BASKETBALL BASKETBALL PROPOSED DESIGN (2021) ROOMS ROOMS BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME SUITES FOOD COURT VELODROME INFIELD EXISTING B.O.H EXISTING LOCKER ROOMS 8 Thank you. • Learning from the repurposing of Maple Leaf Gardens to the Mattamy Athletic Centre, the repurposed Kemper Arena to the Hy-Vee Arena, and the recreational repurposing of the Richmond Olympic Oval post Vancouver Games.
