Re: Project Data Summary for the St. Cloud Civic Center Expansion Project
St. Cloud City Council Planning Session Presentation and Update 3/1/2010
Dear Mr. Mathiasen;
Hagemeister Mack Architects is pleased to present the following project update submittal for the St. Cloud Civic Cen-
ter Expansion and Parking Ramp. This report has been prepared based upon the current status of the project which is
now in the middle stages of the Construction Documents Phase. Some data changes will be inevitable as we focus on
the details of the design in preparation for bidding the project this spring.
The project consists of an approximate 85,000 SF addition to the existing Civic Center building, as well as an approxi-
mate 300 stall parking ramp on adjacent property owned by the City of St. Cloud. The total project cost is estimated
to be approximately $34 million. $2 million in state bonding money was allocated for the project in 2008. The City is
seeking an additional $15.1 million in state bonding money to be matched by the City of St. Cloud Food & Beverage
Revenue Tax. We are hopeful the project will be funded this year and that construction can begin in June or July of 2010.
It is anticipated the City will begin utility and street location work this fall in preparation for the Civic Center Expansion
Project.
Thank you for your confidence in retaining Hagemeister and Mack Architects for architectural services related to this
project. The project has been a long time in the making, and we are excited to see it reach this stage. We look forward
to serving you throughout the remainder of the project. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free
to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Hagemeister Mack Architects

Planning Process Summary
The St. Cloud Civic Center is located in
downtown St. Cloud at the east end of his-
toric St. Germain Street and located directly
on the west bank of the Mississippi River.The
facility was originally completed in 1988 as a
combination community center and conven-
tion center. The community center functions
were basically located in the Terry Haws
Center and included a number of multi-
purpose wood floor courts, a suspended running track and adjacent support spaces such as locker rooms,
restrooms, and storage. The balance of the facility including the Glenn Carlson space was used for conventions,
meetings and trade shows. The project was funded by the implementation of a 1 % Food and Beverage sales
tax on items sold within the City of St. Cloud. In 1995 The Civic Center expanded its space by renovating the
existing Terry Haws room into trade show / convention space along with a renovation of locker rooms into
other support space for the Civic Center. In 2006, the St. Cloud Civic Center completed a $1.5M interior
renovation of the facility that included mostly finish upgrades and a general face lift. In 2005, the city completed
is financial obligation for the original project bond and began accumulating funds for the expansion project.
Since the completion of the major renovation in 1995, the Civic Center has been considering a number of
expansion options. Hagemeister and Mack Architects was retained at that time to assist the City in the
planning process. All of the options considered expansions to the west and/or south based on the loca-
tion of the facility along the banks of the Mississippi River. A significant factor in the facility expansion op-
page

tions included the need for relocating the existing public library located directly west of the Civic Center
Background across 4th Avenue. Consideration was also given to use of the existing library, or even the inclusion of that
Narrative function within the Civic Center facility. That issue was a significant barrier to serious progression of the
project. The Civic Center project simply couldn’t move ahead until the library found a new home. The
plan options changed a number of times as the years passed and the political and budget climate changed.
In 2003 the City passed a referendum authorizing a ½ % General Sales tax that would fund a new library
project. With that in place, planning for the Civic Center became more focused and the City moved for-
ward with negotiations to secure the balance of the site from the owners of M&H Appliance. In 2008, the
library opened the doors to a new facility located approximately 8 blocks to the west on St. Germain Street.
Although a number of expansion options have been studied over the past 12 years, the final design focused
on what has been termed the preferred “west option”. This option has been reviewed by a number of gov-
ernment bodies, including the St. Cloud City Council, who formally approved the “west option” as the one
to be pursued further in design and for consideration for state funding. With this government approval, the
above property issues resolved, and $2M in state bonding money previously appropriated for design and
acquisition of the needed property, the site area for the expansion is available and ready for development.

Aerial photograph of Civic Center and surrounding area, showing location of proposed project.
The existing Civic Center is approximately 110,000 sf in size and includes two large trade show/ conven-
tion spaces along with support spaces such as prefunction/lobby areas, break-out rooms, catering kitchens,
storage, and other support spaces. The facility also includes two levels of parking directly below the facil-
ity at 74,500 sf for each level or approximately 350 total stalls. The existing facility is host to a number of
conventions and trade shows. Its central location in the state makes it the perfect location for a variety
of functions, shows and meetings. Some of the larger tradeshow functions include: The Sportsman’s Show,
The Home Show, The Quilters’ Convention and the Farm Show. Many of these events are growing to the
point of not having enough space for their functions. At least two major events previously held at the Civic
Center have moved to another venue due to space limitations. The basis for the expansion has been well
documented in a detailed study completed by Convention, Sports and Leisure (CSL) in 2002 and updated in
2004. The report included interviews of many of the facility users along with an analysis of the market and
what an expanded Civic Center could support in terms of additional space. Portions of that document are
included in this predesign. The full report is available upon request. Design planning has also been inclusive
of the Civic Center facility operators, facility users, City Council and ad hoc groups with various community
concerns. Input from all of these sources has been incorporation into the progression of the design process.

Background
Narrative
Site Plan of proposed expansion project.
Operational and Strategic Program
The proposed expansion will consist of a major trade/convention show expansion to the existing Terry Haws
Center located on the north end of the existing facility. Approximately 32,000 sf of large clear span space will be
added to the Terry Haws center, providing over 58,000 sf of contiguous trade show space in that room. The new
addition will also include the ability to subdivide the space into 2 bays, and will include movable walls between
Terry Haws and the new addition. This flexibility will provide for the ability to host 3 separate functions concur-
rently, or 4 if including the Glenn Carlson space on the south side of the facility. In addition to the main trade show
space, there will be a major prefunction / lobby space added directly to the south of the new trade show space
that will serve the new space, as well as facilitate the connection to the existing building and prefunction / lobby
areas. A service area to the north will include space for storage, catering kitchen, load in, refuse and other service/
support needs. The north end of the site will allow for a significant staging and marshalling area, which has been
a major detriment to the current facility operations. The total new area of the expansion will be approximately
84,500 sf, bringing the total area of the facility, not including the two exist-
ing parking levels or the new parking ramp, to approximately 194,000 sf.
The project will also include the construction of a new parking ramp that
will be located directly west of the new addition across 5th Avenue. The
ramp will be located on an existing public surface lot and will include
approximately 300 stalls initially. The ramp will be designed to expand
to approximately 600 stalls total. The ramp will serve the Civic Center
for major events, but will also be available full time for general down-
town parking, as well as for permit patrons who work in the downtown
area. The use of the ramp for various functions and needs should make
it a well-used public parking facility. A skyway is being master planned
into the project to accommodate a connection from the ramp to the
Civic Center. The project will also include a significant public plaza on
the south side of the facility, responding to the new south entrance and
reconfiguration of 4th Avenue. The plaza will provide for a covered drop-
off area, and landscaping that will respond to the downtown character Beaver Island Trail
and existing streetscape elements established throughout the downtown

area. A new “Mississippi River Access” point will also be developed at the north end of the existing facility to
Background accommodate access to the existing Beaver Island Trail that runs directly adjacent to the Civic Center and
Narrative Mississippi River. The Beaver Island Trail extends from the Civic Center through St. Cloud State University
and south to 33rd Avenue South. The trail will be extended north of the Civic Center to the St. Cloud Hos-
pital, creating a 5 mile trail that runs adjacent to the Mississippi River and connected key areas of the City.
The Civic Center is being master planned to accommodate a subsequent future addition of approximately
37,000 sf, that will allow for a “third” trade show bay matching the size of the two completed in this proj-
ect. Along with the trade show expansion will be an expansion of the prefunction / lobby and services areas
to the north and south of the main space. A surface parking lot in that area in the meanwhile will allow
for that future expansion. As noted above, the new parking ramp will be designed for future expansions,
and will be expanded as needed when the Civic Center completes the anticipated “third bay” expansion.

Conclusion
The need for this project has been identified and debated for over 12 years. From the CSL study and input from
facility users, it is clear that the expansion is needed and will be financially viable.The impact the project will have
on the Central Minnesota region will be significant. The design and construction of the project will bring numer-
ous jobs to the area during difficult times, and with the completion of the project, significant dollars will be inject-
ed into the local and regional economy through the use of the facility. It’s time for this project to move forward.

Project Significant Code Issues
Description Due to the location of the Civic Center addition, 3 exits from the west side of Terry Haws Hall will need to
be relocated to maintain the required number of exits. The building expansion will be adding up to 4,600
more occupants, according to building code calculations, depending on the event. Examples of anticipated oc-
cupant loads for some events include:
• Musical concert - floor and bleacher seating of approximately 3,000.
• Boxing/wrestling/ultimate fighting match - floor and bleacher seating of approximately 1,600.
• Tradeshow event - approximately two hundred 8x10 booths with up to 4,600 visitors.
The Civic Center addition will require a minimum of 4 new exits with a total required exit width of approxi-
mately 76 feet. The increased occupant load in the facility will require approximately 19 toilets/urinals for
men, 36 toilets for women, and 12 lavatories for each.
The existing Civic Center is built of Type I, fire resistive construction and has a fully automatic sprinkler
system. The Civic Center addition will be constructed as Type IB and will have a fully automatic sprinkler
system. Currently Minnesota uses the 2006 edition of the International Building Code with Minnesota State
Amendments. The new parking ramp will be constructed as Type IIB and will not have a sprinkler system. The
proposed Civic Center addition and parking ramp will be designed to meet applicable codes, including acces-
sibility requirements.
Specialty Requirements / Bibliography of Applicable Codes, Standards, etc.

Architectural Systems
The following is a description of the materials and building systems envisioned for the new addition:
Concrete & Masonry
The Civic Center addition will have concrete footings consisting of strip footings and pads with reinforcing
steel as required by the final structural design. Foundations will consist of either cast-in-place concrete, CMU
or precast wall panels. Slab on grade is assumed to be 5” thick with reinforcing mesh over 6” granular fill
to support large vehicles within the Civic Center. Elevated floor slabs are assumed to be either 12” precast
hollow core planks with 2” of concrete topping or 4” concrete on metal deck with a structural steel frame
as required. The parking ramp will consist of a combination of cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete and
CMU for the footings, foundations, floors and walls.

Structural Steel
Project
Description The existing Civic Center uses a structural steel frame and open web steel roof joists above grade. The roof
height of the Civic Center addition is expected to be at the existing roof height so additional snow drift load-
ing should not occur on the existing facility. The addition will use a structural steel frame and open web steel
roof joists to match the existing ceiling height in Terry Haws Hall. The parking ramp is not expected to use
any structural steel beyond concrete reinforcing and smaller members for stair and roof support.
Roof System
The roof for the Civic Center addition is expected to incorporate a ballasted or adhered EPDM roof. It is
expected that the existing roof will be re-roofed in a similar and matching system.
Exterior Walls
The new exterior shell for the Civic Center addition will consist of:
• Insulated architectural precast panels with high quality finish and detailing. Allows for future expansion.
• Composite metal panels at the south wall.
• Glazed curtain wall system with tinted low e glass and spandrel panels.
All necessary wall insulation, vapor barriers and blocking will be designed to comply with energy code re-
quirements and sustainability goals.
Doors
The entry systems will include aluminum doors and frames, and required egress hardware. Exterior service
doors will be insulated hollow metal Overhead doors will be insulated sectional steel type with power oper-
aters, at least14’-0” x 14’-0” to accommodate large vehicles.

Plan
CIVIC CENTER EXPANSION PROJECT
PROPOSED PROJECT FINANCE PLAN
It is the expectation of the City to receive $15,100,000 in State Bonding money during the 2010 legisla-
tive session to assist in the St. Cloud Civic Center Expansion Project, estimated to be $34,200,000. The
2008 State Bonding bill did include $2 mil for the project which has been matched by the City and used for
preliminary project expense. Those preliminary costs include acquisition of the M & H building, demolition of
the old library & M & H building and site preparation, including significant street utility work. Design fees and
consultation will use up the balance of the $4 mil.
The City is required to match a successful State Bonding Grant. The City’s financing plan for said match
would be fundamentally reliant on the existing 1% Food & Beverage Tax. Here are some points of interest
regarding existing and proposed Civic Center financial obligations:
• The F & B tax would continue to make Paramount Theater debt payments;
• The F & B tax would make the balance of the MAC debt service payments;
• The F & B tax could provide $50,000/year for Paramount capital improvements;
• The F & B tax could provide $50,000/year for MAC capital improvements;
• The F & B tax could provide a stream of debt service payments in the amount of $1,200,000/year
for Civic Center Expansion beginning in 2012 (and an increasing amount once the MAC and
Paramount debt is paid off).
It is proposed that the City would sell a bond redeemable via Food & Beverage tax collections.
The bond size could approach $19,000,000:
- $2 mil to match the 2008 State grant;
- $15.1 mil to match the 2010 State grant;
- $2 mil to cover HVAC and roof work for the existing building.
The bond would be paid off over a 20 to 25 year term with interest rates of 3 to 5%, depending upon the
type of bond issued for the project. The projected cash flow in the food and beverage fund will be sufficient
to support the $19 million bond.

Operating Operating Budget Impact
Costs
The impact of the Expansion Project has been estimated using the first 20 years of Civic Center history. The
increases from 2010 Estimate to Year 1 Post-Expansion are largely due to increased capacity but they also re-
flect a temporary down-turn in the market that has affected most hospitality properties and related facilities.
