Renovation Study Report – HOK Sport Rexall Place, Edmonton, Alberta

Executive Summary Intent of Study Northlands engaged HOK Sport to perform a study to determine if Rexall Place could be renovated into an arena that would be comparable to current NHL arenas recently constructed or under construction. The purpose of this study is not to provide a design of an arena renovation, but to provide a concept that will allow Northlands to make decisions as to the future of Rexall Place. Cost and schedule issues related to a potential renovation are presented, but the feasibility of such a renovation may ultimately be determined by factors outside the scope of this study. Major questions addressed are:

1. Can Rexall Place be renovated into a facility that would meet current arena standards with NHL as a major tenant?

2. If it can be renovated, what is the magnitude of the cost of the renovation? 3. How long would it take to renovate Rexall Place, considering the renovation work has to

be done primarily during the off season? Methodology In order to establish a standard for comparison, Rexall Place was compared with a current NHL Facility as a “benchmark”. HOK compared the design program for the New Jersey Devils arena, currently under construction in Newark, New Jersey, with a program HOK developed for the current Rexall Place. Based on the deficiencies between the existing Rexall Place program and the “Benchmark Facility”, a detailed program for renovation was developed. In order to develop this program, HOK personnel toured Rexall Place, interviewed Northlands staff and representatives of the primary tenant, the Edmonton Oilers. Existing building drawings were measured electronically to determine the size of Rexall Place in its current condition. The program for renovation developed by HOK was used as a basis for the design concept for the arena renovation; utilizing a three-dimensional computer model of the existing arena overlaid with the benchmark program. Based on the program requirements, HOK determined that the most cost effective way to approach the design of the renovation was to maintain the existing structural frame, seating bowl, and roof of Rexall Place. Due to the age and condition of the rest of the major arena elements and concerns about existing inefficiencies of the internal relationships of existing spaces, the interior spaces would not be preserved.


Critical Findings Building Program Considerations Areas of the building that were adequate compared to the Benchmark program were:

seating capacity some event and back of house facilities (mainly due to the large “warehouse” addition) administrative space (since it is located in another building on the Northlands’ property).

Every other area of the arena was below the benchmark facility standard. These critical areas included:

concourses and circulation restroom capacity food service capacity numbers of premium seats the number, condition, and locations of luxury suites.* operational support spaces, such as loading and marshalling areas, were also

inadequate in size and inefficient in location. The table below shows a summary of major program elements and how Rexall Place compared to the benchmark facility: Seating Capacity Overall Spectator Facilities (sf) Benchmark NHL Arena (NJD) 17,350 Benchmark NHL Arena (NJD) 210,200Existing Rexall Place 16,681 Existing Rexall Place 163,537Rexall Renovation Potential 15,789 Rexall Renovation Potential 241,578 Number of Luxury Suites Total Building Area (sf) Benchmark NHL Arena (NJD) 78 Benchmark NHL Arena (NJD) 718,714Existing Rexall Place 64 Existing Rexall Place 497,700Rexall Renovation Potential 92 Rexall Renovation Potential 681,091 Number of Premium Seats Team Facilities (sf) Benchmark NHL Arena (NJD) 2,524 Benchmark NHL Arena (NJD) 21,231Existing Rexall Place 3,500 Existing Rexall Place 19,107Rexall Renovation Potential 5,500 Rexall Renovation Potential 22,219 * luxury suites for renovation is the Oilers required number not the number of a benchmark

facility and if the suites did follow the benchmark we would regain 1400 seats approximately which would put us at 17,189 seats which is less than 200 short of benchmark.


Renovation Cost Magnitude Order of Magnitude Budget: $225 - $250 Million** (2008 Hard Costs Only) Based on conceptual drawings submitted by HOK

497,700 sf of renovated existing space 183,391 sf of built new space 681,091 sf of total space.

Budget requires significant planning and collaboration with HOK and Northlands to derive the best construction execution plan. Renovation Period

Issued For Construction drawing development and construction planning is concurrent: could be up to a year long more advanced planning, less impact to events held during construction.

There would be a three year, six month to four year construction period after the development of Issued For Construction drawings.

Blackout periods in Rexall Place from June to August (inclusive) during each year of construction; events during this time period would need to be cancelled or relocated.

There would be limited access during the other eight months of each year of construction.

Recommendations Based on HOK’s experience with this building type, the extent of the modifications required to bring the building up to current NHL standards, and the condition of the existing building, it was determined that the building would need to be renovated from its structural frame up. The seating bowl would also be left intact and the current capacity would attempt to be maintained. Due to the extent of the renovations required, HOK’s designers took the opportunity to completely redesign and reconfigure the internal building relationships, which had been compromised over the years because of lack of space and numerous previous renovations. ** Renovation cost magnitude has been updated for 2010 and is under $200 million


Also, the building was expanded to provide better circulation through more room for stairs, elevators, and wider concourses. The expansion also took pressure off the interior of the building allowing more restroom and food service facilities to be added. The expansion gave the building a new main entrance and exterior skin. This design approach allowed us to look at the building holistically. Rather bold design moves were made that would correct major deficiencies and create efficient interrelationships. Some of the issues addressed and corrected in this design concept are:

Circulation, both horizontal (concourses) and Vertical (stairs, escalators and elevators) Entrance Lobbies Restrooms Food Service And Retail Outlets Premium Seating Clubs And Restaurants Locker Rooms Press Facilities Loading Docks Maintenance, Storage And Marshalling.

HOK recommends that all of the building mechanical (HVAC), ice plant, plumbing and electrical systems be replaced for the following reasons:

1. Most are approaching the end of their service life. 2. The extent of the proposed renovation would require significant modifications or

supplements to any existing systems. 3. Most existing systems are significantly less efficient and technologically inferior to

current mechanical equipment. 4. Since the building will be required to be expanded outward, and because of the

extensive nature of the renovation required, the exterior of the building will be entirely new, significantly changing and updating the look of the building.

Other issues Schedule Because there is no alternative facility for the primary tenant to play in, it was assumed the renovation work would take place in the NHL off-season, June through October. Assuming the arena could be closed for construction for the entire off-season, it is still anticipated that the renovation would take up to four off-seasons to complete. Some minor work may be able to take place during the season, but due to the extensive scope of the renovation, the contractor would need unlimited access to the building during the off-season. Some summer events held in the Arena, such as Capital Ex events and summer concerts, would have to be canceled or relocated.


Renovation vs. New Construction A renovated Rexall Place would be much better than the existing facility and provide additional revenue opportunities and fan amenities. However, it would not meet all the requirements established in the benchmark program, which reflects the realities of the renovation of a 30 year old building. Next Steps The cost of and inconvenience of such an extensive renovation must be compared to the feasibility of a new arena. HOK recommends that a feasibility study for a new building be performed. This feasibility study for a new facility would need to include:

The evaluation of several potential sites Costs of site acquisition Costs site infrastructure improvements, Availability of parking and public transportation accommodations Building construction costs and identification of other project costs An overall project schedule.

This feasibility study should contain a similar building program as proposed in this study. The new building study should be compared to this study of the renovation of the existing Rexall Place. A cost benefit analysis should be performed comparing the two scenarios.

Appendix B

Renovation Study Report - HOK Sport B-1 Rexall Place, Edmonton, Alberta

APPENDIX B Cost & Constructability1

Based on the information provided by PCL, it is felt that Rexall Place can be renovated, however, the impact to revenue generating events may be significant over the life of the construction schedule. Additionally, the general design of the expansion will have a significant effect on whether this project is viable or not. A renovation of this nature could take upwards of 3 to 4 years; the length a result of major events interrupting the sequence of construction. Disruptions to Rexall Place Operations To facilitate construction, Rexall Place would be required to shut down for periods of time, periods long enough to realize significant structural advances and new permanent access and egress areas for both patrons and loading I unloading. Alterations in construction methods and sequences can be made to achieve preset major event dates. In order to evaluate the disruptions, further design is required along with a list of events over a 3 to 4 year period. In addition, the list should indicate which events can be canceled. A cursory review of tenant impacts during construction produced the following list (during major events):

Food and beverage sales. Loss of revenue due to canceled events. Foot traffic flow to concession areas. Possibility of ‘pinch’ points affecting traffic flow on concourse areas. Access from LRT to Rexall Place. Access to & from Loading docks and event loading areas. Available parking and site traffic congestion. Access to facility during major events. Vehicular traffic congestion from the site to surrounding road systems. Emergency exits.

Constructability and Logistics Schedule As noted above, a renovation of this size and nature would span 3 to 4 years; a significant reason being the integration of major events during construction creating the necessity for public mobility and safety and event management solutions. Without further discussion or drawings and a general scope of work description, a schedule for the Rexall project from Contract Award to Completion of Finishes might be approximately 3.5 to 4 years. 1 The information in Appendix B is a synopsis of correspondence and presentations developed by PCL.


Impacts on Constructability In addition to the tenant impact noted, the following list of items need significant review on their impact to cost, schedule, facility events, and safety:

Proximity of the expansion outer walls in relation to the LRT and 118th Avenue. Construction of the enclosed environmentally controlled space around the LRT entry

point, whether above or below ground. Coordinating the removal of the existing exterior wall system with erection of new

structure. The integration of the existing structure to the new structure. Availability of manpower during construction. Is the new construction a separate surrounding structure attached to the existing, or

seamlessly integrated? Phasing Sequence, or phasing, of the construction would depend on events surrounding the renovation period. Initial thoughts are:

Phase 1: Demo/reconstruct new & temporary entrances to main bowl and loading areas. Phase 2: Construct and finish new outside ring. Construct tie-ins to existing buildings Phase 3: Relocate interior concessions I retail affected by renovations to existing

spaces to outside ring. Renovate existing building levels.

New Footprint Construction: moderate to minimal disruption to facility

operations. Facility service points, egress & entrances, will have

special design considerations Interior concourse areas are phased Relocations will be phased over to new space.


Order of Magnitude Budget With the information available, PCL has assembled an Order of Magnitude budget of $220 to $250 million (2008 dollars, NIC GST). Qualifications

• No parking superstructure (parkade) allowed for, only remediation to areas affected by construction.

• No FF&E or Food & Beverage allowed for. • Assumes availability of appropriate work force.

Next Steps This budget takes a high level approach to the question of ‘is it possible’. As noted, a number of questions require further review before the answer becomes clear. Constructability and logistics topics should be discussion with HOK and venue and event-related issues with Northlands. To move forward a meeting is recommended between PCL, Northlands and HOK to further review the constructability and phasing options. PCL would be pleased to submit a proposal to provide construction planning and budgeting for additional I revised schemes.

Existing Area Construction: Virtually all areas are affected by the renovations. Interior bowl structural & remodeling work occurs

during Blackout Periods.

Float Space is required to facilitate relocation of existing facilities.

Hoarding within existing Concourse Areas will be significant and visible during events.
