In 2014 voters in Shawnee County approv ed a half-cent sales tax committee and key stakeholders . In addition to the expertise of initiative that would provide funds necessary to make various the HTK I Populous team , specific engineers were brought in improvements to facilities and infrastructures throughout Topeka to review and identify needs related to acoustics, structure and and Shawnee County . An inter-local agreement reached between mechanical/electrical systems. This survey amassed a program of the City of Topeka and Shawnee County for allocating monies over 80 projects that have been categorized and prioritized into received through the sales tax, identified the Kansas Expocentre , three distinct project packages : among others, for faci lity upgrades to address deferred maintenance and facility expansions to ensure the facility A) Landon Arena and Expo renovations and expansions continues to be a viable tool for economic development. tourism B) Multi-Purpose Equine I Livestock I Expo facility expansions and pride in Topeka and Shawnee County.

The master planning process included forming a Kansas Expocentre Design and Construction Advisory Committee (KEDCAC) made up of selected Shawnee County staff and representatives from the Kansas Expocentre . This committee was tasked with providing input to the design team , evaluating recommendat ions and establishing prior ities for future improvements to the Kansas Expocentre . Additionally , this committee. with assistance from the design team , was to evaluate options for project financing to determine the most responsible method to maximize the investment by taxpayers in Shawnee County faci lities.

The design team took inventory of critical deferred maintenance issues and responded to the facility needs identified by the

-• ARCH I TEC T ::=: POPULous · Economic Impact Concepts

• Direct Spending consists principally of initial purchases made by attendees at an event who do not reside in the local area. This spending typically takes place in local hotels, restaurants, retail establishments and other such businesses. An example of direct spending is when an out-of-town event attendee pays a local hotel for overnight lodging accommodations.

• Indirect Spending consists of there-spending of the initial or direct expenditures. An example of indirect spending is when a restaurant purchases additional food and dining supplies as a result of new dining expenditures through increased patronage. A certain portion of these incremental supply expenditures occurs within the local community (i.e., "indirect spending," the type of which is quantified under this analysis), while another portion leaves the local economy (i.e., "leakage").

• Induced Spending consists of the positive changes in employment, earnings and tax collections generated by changes in population associated with direcUindirectexpenditures.

• Total Output represents the total direct, indirect and induced spending effects generated by the project. This calculation measures the total dollar change in output that occurs in the local economy for1 each dollar of output delivered to final demand.

• Earnings (or Personal Income) represents the wages and salaries earned by employees of businesses associated with or impacted by the project. In other words, the multiplier measures the total dollar change in earnings of households employed by the affected industries for each additional dollar of output delivered to final demand.

• Employment represents the number of full- and part-time jobs. The employment multiplier measures the total change in the number of jobs in the local economy (throughout a wide diversity of industry sectors) for each additional $1.0 million of output delivered to final demand. -• A RC H I TEC T :: POPULOUS " I~

1. Embrace Brand Strength: Leverage and build on the core strengths of the Expocentre "brand"-equestrian, ag, livestock, exhibition-cannot be everything to everybody. 2. Equestrian/Livestock Market Demand Opportunities: Demand exists to support investment in equestrian/livestock facilities-should remain as a key element of facility brand identity. 3. Opportunities to Better Attract & Serve Entertainment Demand: An improved Landon Arena could moderately grow events and attendance, drive new revenues, enhance customer experience. However, a full redevelopment (i.e. , new arena) is not indicated. 4. Major Expansion of Exhibit Space Not Indicated: Most event demand can be accommodated by existing supply-new equestrian facilities + arena floor space will serve as overflow. Opportunities exist to attract limited new amateur sports and flat-floor event activity. 5. Broader Strategy Must Consider Greater Site & Destination: Industry best practices investment strategy would include initiatives and incentives to assist in development of a more compelling sub-destination at Expocentre. Develop plan for growth in proximate visitor amenities and encourage private investment in.

20 KANSA S EXPOCENTRE I MASTER PLAN MULTI-USE STALLING AND EXPO BUILDING Any new facility will maximize the flexibility in types of events that can be hosted. The new multi-use stalling /Expo facility wi ll allow an increase in stall capacity as well as conditioned space for sports events and other flat shows. For equestrian events, CSL indicated a need to expand stalling capacity to a total of 450 to 500 stalls for maximum economic benefit related to equestrian events. The proposed multi-use stalling facility is designed to accommodate up to 240 new stalls in a lO'xlO' grid which will bring the total indoor stall count to around 450 including the existing stall barn after renovations. The stalls are proposed as high quality portable units so they may be removed to leave an open floor with full capability to accommodate a trade show or expo event that typically also uses a lO'xlO' booth module . The electrical and other utility requirements for a modern stalling facility are very similar to that required for an expo hall. The proposed multi-use facility will be an indoor heated venue with an option for air conditioning depending on budget. The proposed facility is connected to the Landon Arena complex via a landscaped outdoor plaza with the possibility of a covered or indoor connector to be added in the future. Covered connectors are proposed to provide appropriate connectivity for equestrian events to the existing Domer complex and the proposed new covered arena. Restrooms are designed to accommodate the needs for an expo event w ithin the buildings.

SITE PLAN OVERVIEW

The recommended master plan evolved primarily around the two existing drive lane curbs cuts on the north and south end addition of a new covered multi-purpose equestrian/livestock of the existing Equine/Livestock complex. The siting of the arena, an indoor multi-use stalling and expo building and new multi-use stall barn next to Landon Arena will provide improvements to the public experience at Landon Arena with the necessary vehicle access to all sides of the building and upgrades to the east concourse and entry. reducing the hazards associated with loading and unloading along Western. The new Covered Arena does not require While the new arena and muti-use building are primarily access on all sides, thus is recommended to be in line with conceived for equestrian and livestock events, these facilities Domer and the existing equine/livestock event buildings south are designed for flexibility and able to accommodate a of Domer. multitude of types of events. These new facilities require close connectivity to Landon and Domer arenas to accommodate Connectivity between Landon Arena and the new multi-use multi-building events. 360 degree circulation is required around stalling/expo building is an important consideration for events the multi-use stalling and expo building for event load in and that will utilize both facilities. The master plan indicates a new out. The siting of the two buildings also took into account outdoor plaza space that will extend along the east side of the need to preserve land/ parking area on the landlocked Landon across the front of the new multi-use building . This site and to minimize impact to the current road and parking plaza is formed by reconfiguring the existing drop-off lane in configurations at the site. front of Landon and reconfiguring the site circulation roads around the new multi-use building . The drive lane between the Topography of the site had a significant impact on the new multi-use building and Landon is designed to allow full planning. The site is sloping to the west and south toward the circulation around the multi-use building or it can be closed to Shunga Creek and the majority of available land for expansion vehicular circulation and utilized as an extension of the plaza is designated as a flood plain or flood way. Construction is space. The outdoor plaza space will have utility connections allowed in a flood plain if the building floors are elevated above for food trucks or other expo vendors providing flexibility for the flood plain elevation however no construction is allowed use as an outdoor exhibit or event space. in the areas designated as flood way. Thus, keeping the new buildings close to Landon and Domer is not only critical for Parking and RV spaces lost to the construction of the new event function but also a federal (FEMA) requirement for site multi-use stal ling and expo building and the new covered arena development. will be replaced at the south end of the site. The new multi­ use RV and car parking area is designed to be enclosed with Safety was a noted concern by many of the equestrian/ a security fence and will accommodate secure camping area livestock stakeholders. A significant traffic/circulation conflict for up to 56 large RV's or it can be used to park a combination exists along Western Avenue at the existing stall barn where of 124 cars and 26 RV's. Additional parking expansion may be event participants must pull in and out of the public street for considered however most available land outside . of that already parking trailers and loading/unloading tack, gear, and animals proposed for parking is located within the flood way and will into the existing stall barn. To mitigate the risk of circulation require additional study prior to approval for development. confl icts and collision along Western the Design Team has Restoration and re -striping of the existing parking lots is recommended converting the current back-in parking along expected to yield a significant number of additional parking the west side of the existing stall barn, covered arena, and spaces as current parking is very inefficient due primarily to a Domer arena to a pair of one way drive lanes. The lane closest lack of striping in the lots. to the buildings will be used as a pull-off lane for loading and unloading while the lane near Western will be a drive through lane. These new drive lanes w ill be separated from western with a partition that will limit site access onto Western to the

Parking along the Improvements of these facilities initially looked at full replacement east side of the complex will be removed and replaced with a with new expanded facilities but the balanced approach to drive lane and pu ll-off loading lane to eliminate traffic conflicts on the overall master plan focuses on critica l renovations to these Western and help improve load-in and out of the facil ity during facilities with the addition of a new multi-purpose stall barn and events. A new sidewalk is proposed along the west wall of the new covered arena and strengthening safe connections between facility to be used for load-in and out directly adjacent to the facilities. The renovations will focus on correc ting critical structural proposed unloading lane. A primary goal of the renovation for issues, refreshing finishes throughout to bring them up to the this comp lex is to provide a similar standard of finish and event same level as the new facilities and addressing event functionality flexibility in the existing comp lex as wi ll be designed for the new needs. From the standpoint of event functionality, the wall multi-use stalling/expo building . between Domer and the warm up arena w ill be removed providing a larger contiguous dirt floor. The current covered arena will be full enclosed on the side walls. Access into these facilities will be improved with the addition of a new ramp and the orientation of the stall barn will be modified to promote a more functional use. Wash stalls will be relocated to facility greater functionality within the stall barn.

Improving participant safety was a repeated issue raised during stakeholder engagement. Much of these issues deal with the proximity and interaction participants, animals and equipment have with Western Street that borders the west edge of the Expocentre campus . During large and small events, congestion on site and on adjacent roadways poses safety threats to patrons. Through a change in policy and minor site modifications the areas west of the barns will be utilized for loading and pull though areas verses parking.

Replacement of all or portions of the existing Domer, covered arena, and stall barn complex was considered however the serviceable condition of the existing facilities and the cost of 17 KANSAS EXPOCENTRE I MASTER PLAN RECOMMENDED FACILITY PLANS RENOVATED DOMER , WARM UP, & EXISTING STALL BARN GN

The multi-use stalling I expo facility will increase the stalling capacity to host larger equestrian and livestock events at the Expocentre. To accommodate these larger events another dirt floor arena wit h a 130'x280' event floor and attached covered staging/viewing area will be provided. Design will explore options to enclose or plan for future enclosure of this arena. The proposed arena is located south of existing Domer Arena and a covered connector is planned that w ill allow event participants to access both Domer and the proposed new multi-use stalling/expo buildings under cover. The primary use for this arena is anticipated to be equestrian and livestock events so the event floor footing and railings will be designed to the standards found in similar modern venues.
