AIA Missouri, A State Council of the American Institute of Architects “Jefferson City Correctional Center Redevelopment Charrette” Program Book JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE 11 Welcome! On behalf of the AIA Missouri Board of Directors I would like to thank you for offering your time to participate in the Jefferson City State Prison Charrette. We believe this event will be a wonderful opportunity for design professionals to showcase the creative talents and skills that we use everyday in developing living and working environments. For those of you who also participated in the 1995 State Fair Charrette in Sedalia, you will be happy to know that the work produced during that event played a pivotal role in the eventual development of a masterplan for the State Fairgrounds. It is largely due to this success that the Division of Design and Construction sought to have a similar event occur to begin the process of evaluating the development potential for this large site just blocks form the State Capitol. AIA Missouri is happy to coordinate this effort, and with the assistance of the Division of Design and Construction we anticipate the results of this event will be well publicized. The most import point to remember, as you prepare for your trip to Jefferson City, is to have fun. This is one of those rare opportunities where you will be able to create a vision for the future of a site without being overly constrained by a program, budget, or schedule. We look forward to seeing you in Jefferson City on April 7th Matt Kauffman, AIA President, AIA Missouri Acknowledgments AIA Missouri Charrette Committee: Jerry Hagerman, AIA - Chair Clark Davis, FAIA Craig Patterson, AIA Martha John, AIA - Charrette Director Missouri Division of Design and Construction Liaison: Charlie Brzuchalski, AIA The Charrette Committee wishes to express special thanks to the following: Dave Dormire, Jefferson City Correctional Center Superintendent Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau Jefferson City Correctional Center Jefferson City Correctional Center Redevelopment Task Force Jefferson City Correctional Center Oversight Committee Mark Schreiber, Assistant Division Director, Department of Corrections Missouri Department of Corrections Missouri Division of Design and Construction Office of Administration, Division of General Services, State Printing JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE22 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS The Jefferson City Correctional Center Redevelopment Plan Charrette will take place over a period of three days, April 7-9, 2000.

JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE44 GOALS OF THE CHARRETTE The decommissioning of the historic Jefferson City Correctional Center offers the city and the state an outstanding opportunity. Many different, sometimes competing, ideas have been advanced for the redevelopment of the site. While a task force has studied and ranked these ideas, the teams that participate in the charrette can help that task force refine and graphically delineate the ideas into the basis of an overall master plan. The goals of the charrette are: • To synthesize a myriad of issues into a coherent overall plan. • To take a multi-disciplinary approach to this process. • To relate the resulting plan to the surrounding city and site. • To apportion the land in a reasonable way to the stewardship of various entities and organizations. • To help create the tools needed as the basis for an overall master plan which will be presented to the Governor and State Legislature in the future. JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE 55 PROBLEM STATEMENT The decommissioning and subsequent redevelopment of the Jefferson City Correctional Center site provides both a unique challenge and a rare opportunity. It is not often that such a large site so close to the center of a state capital becomes available. The range of redevelopment options offered for the site is wide and quite varied. The site also includes widely diverse existing facilities, from quite old and arguably historic buildings to recent utilitarian structures to undeveloped land, and many things in between. Many members of the immediate neighborhood and of the community have voiced strong opinions about the eventual disposition of the site, particularly as it relates to the surrounding area and the needs of the Jefferson City community. Some options preclude others. The Redevelopment Task Force has worked for months to identify the possibilities and come to some consensus about the relative priority for each choice available. Charrette teams will be asked to use all the available information - from the Task Force, from the groups presenting information at the Issues Fair, and from your own observations - to determine the highest and best possible use of the overall site. Using a multi- disciplinary approach, teams must synthesize a myriad of issues into a coherent plan. The final master plan may include several different uses, but the whole site must be integrated into Jefferson City in the best possible way. Teams will need to consider such things as traffic and transportation, local neighborhood context, the mix of public/private uses, land planning, historic preservation issues, utility infrastructures, etc. Financial feasibility of the proposed redevelopment must also be considered, so teams will be asked to evaluate and recommend a variety of strategies available to accomplish their proposed solution - such things as Tax Increment Financing, Brownfield Redevelopment Programs, Historic Tax Credits, Enterprise Zones, etc. The resulting solutions from each team will be returned to the Redevelopment Task Force and will be collected together in a public display and a published report of the results. The Task Force will use these results in their search for a consulting firm to develop a master plan for the site. That consulting firm will be expected to make use of the ideas presented in the charrette solutions in the development of the final master plan. This master plan is scheduled to be presented to the Governor and the Legislature prior to the next legislative session. View toward the Upper Yard JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE66 HISTORY OF THE PRISON The Missouri State Penitentiary was the first prison built west of the Mississippi River. It was authorized in 1832 and approved by the General Assembly in 1833. By the time the first prisoner arrived in 1836 it covered a four-acre tract on the eastern edge of Jefferson City. Through the early years they tried many different methods of management at the prison, including leasing it out for private management, and arrangements for contracting the prisoners out as a labor force. Eventually the latter of these options became the normal way of operation. Many buildings and improvements in the Jefferson City area were built using such prison labor. As the years passed, capacity was periodically increased. By 1900 the property had grown to almost a third of its present size. There were 15 acres within the walls, and several buildings. Only three of these buildings currently remain: Housing Units 4 and 8 and the Shoe Factory. Housing Unit 4 is a stone building, designed by the warden (who was also an architect) in 1868. Housing Unit 8, built of brick in 1889, later served as one of many factory buildings on the grounds. The Shoe Factory was also brick, also built in 1889. A grand stone “main building” was built in 1905 to house women prisoners. Now known as Housing Unit 1, this building has several significant historical features. Another new stone building, Housing Unit 3, was built in 1915. A warden who was an architect also designed this building. A disciplinary barracks, known as the I-Hall (and no longer in use), was built in 1927 to house disruptive and escape-prone inmates. At the time, stone quarrying was going on within the prison precincts and prisoners were sometimes able to steal explosives, so this building was constructed of heavy reinforced concrete in an attempt to thwart the use of dynamite as a potential escape tool. By the late 1930's, a century after the penitentiary had opened, the walled area of the prison had grown to its current 47-acre size and the housing units were woefully overcrowded. At that time a building 1885 Map of the Prison JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE 11 program was undertaken, with the assistance of the WPA, providing many new buildings and replacing other, badly dilapidated buildings. Buildings remaining from that time include Housing Unit 7, the Furniture Factory, the License Plate Factory and the Chemical Products Building (1936), the Old Powerhouse, Housing Unit 6, the Hospital Building, and the Garage (1937), and the Administration, Food Service and Canteen Buildings and Housing Units 2A & B and 5A & B (1938). Also built at this time was the Gas Chamber (1937), which was Missouri’s instrument of capital punishment from 1938 until 1989. Thirty-nine people were executed between 1938 and 1965, when a hiatus in executions began. The fortieth and last person to be executed in that building, in January 1989, was the first in the state to be executed by lethal injection. After that, “death row” moved to the correctional center at Potosi. In September of 1954, the Missouri State Penitentiary gained unpleasant national notoriety. On the evening of Wednesday, September 22, a riot broke out in one of the housing units and quickly spread to the grounds and other housing units. The rampage went on for 15 hours before prison guards and State Troopers finally brought it under control. The riot left seven buildings destroyed by fire, five prisoners dead, and a number of guards and inmates injured. Property damage was estimated between $3 and $5 million. The riot also sparked an effort at penal reform in Missouri which would, however, take many more years to complete. The fire destruction allowed part of the industrial area to be rebuilt, but individual violence within the prison population was increasing. In 1963 legislators held committee hearings to look at the problem of inmate violence, prompted by three inmate murders in one 24-day period. During those hearings, legislators heard that hospital records in the prison showed 145 stabbings in a little more than two years. An even worse incident occurred in June of 1964. Until that time the residential units of the prison had been racially segregated. Because the building used to house black inmates was severely overcrowded and in poor condition, officials decided to close that building down and integrate the other cell blocks. To begin with, they moved a handful of black inmates from the black unit into two other housing units. For several days everything remained quiet. Then on June 9 the explosion came. Inmates returning from the yard were set upon in a corridor by a dozen inmates with pillowcases over their faces, stabbing, cutting and cursing. One black inmate was killed and three were seriously wounded. Trouble flared again in late August, and continued throughout the autumn of that year. When a new Missouri Governor was elected in November, things began to change for the prison. In 1965 the new Governor appointed a new Director of the Department of Corrections who would begin a comprehensive process of reform for the prison. Not only were new rules made and new programs begun, new buildings were built. A new recreation building (1966) joined the new gymnasium that had been completed in 1965. A grandstand was built in 1966 at the athletic fields in the lower recreation yard. A Warehouse (1972) was added to the industrial area. More recent construction inside the walls has included the All-Faith Chapel (1980) and the Education Building (also 1980) built on the foundation of a building burned in the 1954 riot. The most recent building in the compound is the 1982 Housing Unit 5C, also known as “Super-Max.” This is a maximum-security unit for the most unruly prisoners. JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE22 The limestone perimeter wall surrounding the 47-acre compound was built and expanded over the years, finally completed in its current configuration in 1915. At the time, the guard towers along the wall resembled medieval castle turrets, round, with crenelations on top. After the riot of 1954, the guardrooms at the tops of these towers were replaced with square glass rooms of modern construction, in part to increase visibility for the guards. The round bases of some of these towers are still visible. From the inside, the wall is imposing, particularly in the lower yard near the ballfield. In that area, high on the wall, is a painted mural of Sonny Liston, a former inmate. It is said that Liston learned to box when he was serving time in the Missouri State Penitentiary. The entire site of the Jefferson City Correctional Center (as the site is now known) covers 142 acres of river bluff land, seven blocks east of the State Capitol. Some of the area outside the walls is undeveloped wooded ridges and valleys along the Missouri River. Some includes other structures and improvements. On the next ridge east of the walled compound, known as “Minor’s Hill,” stands a brick building now known as the Old Training Building (1937). Originally built to house female inmates, it sits on the site of a 19th century private mansion. Only a portion of the foundation of that earlier building remains, a token of the family that found the views from the site so striking. Between Minor’s Hill and the walled compound are remnants of the time when the prison system produced all its own food on the prison farms. The Slaughter House (1950) was used for cattle and hogs destined for prison meals. Fruits and vegetables raised on the farms were stored in the Potato House (1940), a large cellar built under the hillside. In the same area is the prison water tower (1938).

Located in the central east end of Jefferson City, the JCCC site is within the city limits of Jefferson City. The site is bounded on the north by the Missouri River and the Union Pacific Railroad; on the east by a privately owned parcel of land and Riverside Park; on the south by Riverside Drive, Capitol Avenue, Lafayette St. and East State St; and on the west by a parcel of land owned by the Jefferson City Housing Authority. Project Site Due to the limitations of property ownership, the project site for the Charrette will be limited to the land currently owned by the State of Missouri and identified as the JCCC Site. The boundaries of the site are as defined above and shown in the drawings provided. Historical Context This area was the edge of the city when the prison construction first began in 1833. Much of the growth in the area is a direct result of the prison operation and the industries developed to utilize prison labor. This site contributes greatly to the historical context of this area; portions of the imposing stone wall of the prison date from 1848. Although not visible from the street, the oldest buildings on this site are just inside the walls. “The Walls” have been a feature of this area since they were first constructed. A number of large homes, mansions in their time, can still be found in the area around the prison. Many of the buildings in the area are significant historic structures and several have been placed on the National Register. Neighborhood Context The character of the adjoining neighborhoods range from the well maintained historic renovation of the “Marmaduke House,” the former warden’s house at Capitol and Lafayette, to a number of aging, poorly maintained View across site to southwest JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE11 houses found within the area. The area is included in a district classified as “distressed.” The actual land uses include high-rise apartment buildings to the west of the JCCC, numerous commercial office conversions of residences along State St., Lafayette St., and Capitol Ave. and the single and multi-family residences along Capitol Ave. and Riverside Dr.. A wholesale grocery supplier, located on State St., is the only non-office commercial usage, and the shoe factory building on the north side of Capitol Ave. is the only light industrial usage in this area. The current zoning in the adjacent neighborhoods includes single- and multi-family residential (RS-4 & RA-2), neighborhood commercial (C-1), Central Commercial (C-3), Light Industrial (M-1), and Planned Development (PUD). The JCCC Site is shown as single family residential (RS-1) on the current Jefferson City Zoning maps but will most likely be zoned as a planned commercial development should it be transferred to private ownership. The area to the east and southeast of the site has been developed as Riverside Park by the City of Jefferson and includes ball fields, picnic areas and a swimming pool. Access The site currently has access points at the Main Entrance of JCCC on the corner of State and Lafayette Streets; at Chestnut Street for the Industries Area and at the intersection of Capitol Avenue and Riverside Drive for the Surplus Property and Training Academy area (Minor’s Hill) The city streets of Capitol Avenue, High Street, and McCarty Street provide the east west access with Lafayette Street being utilized as the main north south access route. There is no direct access to the Hwy 50-63 Expressway, four blocks to the south of the site. The nearest access to the Expressway is at the Monroe Street intersection. A preliminary conceptual design for a direct access to the site proposes an extension of Clark Avenue with access to Highway 50-63 provided by an enhanced interchange at the Clark Avenue location. Other proposals under consideration include new interchanges on Hwy 50-63 at Lafayette Street or Chestnut Street. Highway planners favor the Clark Avenue extension, while city residents appear to favor Lafayette or Chestnut St. t View south at east end of site JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE 22 JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE33 REDEVELOPMENT/REUSE CONSIDERATIONS Charrette teams are encouraged to consider and propose creative and appropriate concepts for the correctional center site. As a part of preparing for disposition of the Jefferson City Correctional Center property, a task force was formed made of up representatives of State, County and City government and civic organizations. Beginning in September 1999, this task force has worked to assimilate and document community concepts and evaluate numerous proposals for redevelopment of all or part of the site. Through town-hall discussions and surveys, the task force has tried to identify and prioritize the options available. The following is a summary of the results of this study. A full copy of the data may be found in the appendix. Teams should be aware of all options that have been discussed and the relative priority placed on each in the community. Teams should not regard this as a limitation to the concepts considered appropriate for use, but only as another piece of the information puzzle. The Task Force report is in four sections evaluating: A. Historic Value of the Property B. Historic Value of the Buildings C. Planning Values D. Potential Uses Parts A and B are closely linked and attempt to assess the historical value of the existing facility. Part A refers to the property, as a whole or in sections, and Part B refers to specific buildings. In assessing the extent to which the property should be preserved, task force members necessarily also considered specific buildings or groups of buildings. While there is extensive historic value in the site, redevelopment concepts should also offer present day and future productive value. The site requires extensive renewal. Thus, the higest rank preference for preservation of property (Part A) was “selected buildings in the upper and lower yard areas.” Part B provides a ranking of which buildings were considered highest priority to save (the entire list is in the appendix): 1. Housing Unit 4 (A-Hall) 2. Housing Unit 1 (Old Admin. Building) 3. Housing Unit 3A & B 4. Upper Yard Wall and Towers 5. Gas Chamber Part C, “Planning Values,” explored the relative importance of a list of values as related to the development of the property. The planning values deemed to be most important by the Task Force, in order of rank, were: JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE 11 • cost effectiveness - reuse plans should be developed toward self-sufficiency without long-term support required by government or community funding. • historic preservation - the property has a rich heritage with national recognition. Some portion should be retained with emphasis on a sense of history. • community acceptance/local usability/compatibility - any concept should recognize the diversity of the local community, should harmonize with it and be an amenity which welcomes and serves the community. • vistas - facilities should be oriented to enhance and not impede the great views offered by the site. • tourism - redevelopment concepts should be directed toward attracting and serving state-wide and national tourism. • recreation - at least some of the site should include opportunities for recreation, both structured and not, both indoors and out. • economic impact - proposed uses should ultimately create a positive economic position within the community and the state. • long-term flexibility - concepts should provide flexibility for future growth and adjustment with changing environments and needs. • open space - for recreation or otherwise, open space was deemed to be an important value in the redevelopment plan. Finally, in Part D, the Task Force considered a long list of potential uses proposed for the property. Thirty-nine potential uses had been identified, and six more were written-in during the evaluation process. Of these, parks and other public uses ranked generally highest, and private development for residential or industrial purposes ranked lowest. The entire list is available in the appendix, but the top three potential uses were: 1. Riverfront Park 2. Missouri State Penitentiary Museum 3. Historic Site An additional issue appears in fourth place: access to Adrian’s Island. This island in the Missouri River was donated to the City of Jefferson a number of years ago for public use but there has been no good way to access it. Once the Correctional Center moves, more options for access to the island will become available. The Correctional Center site is large enough that many of the potential uses identified can be combined into a solution for redevelopment. Part of the task of the Charrette will be to choose from among the wide variety of proposed uses and values to develop a coherent and comprehensive plan. JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE22 ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS Any redevelopment plan for the existing Correctional Center site must give some thought to implied economic needs and resources available. Funding for proposed projects might come from a variety of sources, depending in part on ownership of the site. Money from the State would require legislative funding; from the City would require a sales tax or bond issue for financing. Eventual private ownership may provide other options for funding, such as grants and tax credits. Conversion to private ownership may, however, eliminate some public funding options. And any proposed use must also consider ongoing maintenance budgets and the source for these funds. Numerous programs are available to provide funding assistance or financial incentives to development or redevelopment for business purposes. Brownfield Remediation tax credits and Brownfield Jobs/Investment tax credits are two programs administered by the Department of Economic Development. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) programs are also available at the state and local level for development/redevelopment projects. Historic Preservation tax credits, both state and federal, might be available in parts of the site considered historic. No structures currently carry the designation “historic,” though the Jefferson City Historic District could possibly be extended. Such tax credits require approval by the Historic Preservation Office of the Department of Natural Resources and adherence to strict design and rehabilitation guidelines. Several different types of business development are eligible for funding in the form of tax credits. These generally require the site to be in a “distressed area,” a designation that would apply to the existing JCCC site. Rebuilding Communities tax credits target specific types of businesses, such as software design and programming, manufacturing, telecommunications, or professional firms. Individual Training Accounts provide credits for training either existing or new employees. The Winery/Grape Growers tax credit is specifically targeted to businesses growing grapes or producing wine. And a Film Production tax credit would encourage opportunities in movies, commercials, music videos and television productions. Assistance is available to new and expanding businesses needing upgraded infrastructure to carry out their plans. These include Community Development Block Grants for public entities, Mo. Development Finance Board contribution tax credits, and Transportation Development tax credits. Residential development has a largely different array of financing possibilities. Historic Preservation tax credits from the state might be available, under the same restrictions as those for business development. Neighborhood preservation tax credits are available for owner-occupied residential construction. Community Bank tax credits target low-income areas similar to the “distressed” areas mentioned previously. These allow for equity or business loans and redevelopment of either residential or commercial areas. JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE 33 Community Development tax credit programs such as the Neighborhood Assistance Program specifically target projects that deal with community services, physical revitalization, economic development, crime prevention, education, and job training. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS Environmental issues, both existing and future, should be addressed. This could include recycling of demolished building components, energy conservation, green products, green maintenance, healthy/well buildings, water and energy conserving design and landscaping, sustainable building design. The State intends to address all known existing “hazardous material” issues before the site is redeveloped, so you may assume that, for redevelopment purposes, it is a “clean” site. All demolition, renovation and new construction envisioned should also be planned in a manner that respects the environment and is sustainable in the future. Portions of the site are as yet undeveloped, so many opportunities are available. Correctional Center property from South West JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE44 PROCEDURES PARTICIPANTS Teams: Teams will consist of up to ten individuals, comprising a variety of talents. Each team should be led by at least one AIA Architect and should include at least some of the following: land planning, real estate, recreation planning, transportation engineering, development, politics, historic preservation, financing, and landscape architecture. Team members may fill more than one category. Teams should also include 2-4 “technicians” to help translate the ideas to paper. Eligibility: All teams must be registered in advance in order to participate fully in the Charrette. Completed Team Registration forms should be sent to AIA Missouri. All registered teams will receive copies of this Program Book and additional materials prior to arrival on site. SITE CHECK-IN Upon arrival, each participant is required to check in at the Charrette table in the second floor lobby of the Truman State Office Building in Jefferson City. Check-in will be from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Friday, April 7, 2000. Both hotels are within walking distance of the Truman Building. Because parking in downtown Jefferson City is very limited on weekdays it is recommended you register at your hotel first (see below), and walk to the site. Upon check-in, each team member will receive additional materials and a Registration/Identification/Meal Tag (RIM Tag). This tag will serve as your identification during the Charrette and as your voucher for meals and other events. PLEASE DO NOT LOSE THIS TAG; we will not replace them. LODGING Teams that have registered in advance will have rooms reserved for them at one of two hotels in Jefferson City near the Truman Building. All members of a team will be placed in the same hotel whenever possible. The hotel reservations will be made (and paid for) by Charrette staff, so it is imperative that team lists be accurate. IF ANY CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES ARE NECESSARY, WE MUST KNOW ABOUT THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Participants will be responsible for their own incidental hotel expenses. PARKING As indicated above, parking on Friday will be hard to find and participants are urged to leave their cars at their hotels. Both hotels are within easy walking distance of the Truman Building. On Saturday and Sunday, plenty of parking will be available in the employee lot just west of the Truman Prison Courtyard - 1930's JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE 55 Building. Please enter the building through the south (McCarty Street) entrance. ISSUES FAIR On Friday afternoon an “issues fair” will be held at which representatives from several departments and organizations will be on hand to provide additional information to the teams. Groups on hand are expected to include: Jefferson City Correctional Center Department of Corrections Historic Preservation Program Dept. of Natural Resources Environmental Quality Department of Economic Development Parks and Recreation Missouri Film Commission Jefferson City Planning Department Jefferson City Public Works JCCC Task Force WORK AREA SET-UP For the Saturday charrette, each team will be assigned a specific room in the Truman Building. The Charrette will provide the use of a computer work station, networked to a plotter, for those teams that have requested one. Teams may bring additional equipment to use on Saturday. Arrangements will be made to allow you to set it up on Friday evening, provided you have notified the Charrette staff in advance. PRESENTATION Format: Each team will be issued two (2) 30" x 40" foam core presentation boards for your submission. These should be used in a horizontal format. If your presentation must have another board, please contact the Charrette staff. The submission from each team should clearly represent an overall site strategy using the provided site plans, as well as such specific details you feel are important. Provided Maps and Photos: Each team will receive a hard copy of the overall site plan in a couple of different formats, as well as key photos of the site. All of these will also be available in digital electronic format. JCCC REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARRETTE66 Graphic Means: The method of graphic presentation is at the discretion of the participants, but must be contained on the foam core boards. Please keep in mind that submissions will be exhibited to the public after the Charrette and a Report of the event, cataloging the complete Charrette experience, will also be published. Submissions may be included in the Report in total or partially, in color or black & white, depending on funding and report layout. We also hope to have media coverage of the event; newspapers and television prefer bold and colorful drawings. Written descriptions of proposals explaining design concepts, analysis and conclusions may be incorporated into the presentation boards. Limited review time, however, will preclude reading lengthy written explanations. There will be an opportunity for brief verbal presentations on Sunday, but the submission should be able to stand on its own. Graphic Supplies: Basic graphic supplies (tracing paper, markers, pencils, mounting spray, etc.) will be provided by the Charrette. If you have particular requirements or needs, you will be responsible for providing them. Graphic supplies will not be available on Saturday in Jefferson City. Materials Prepared in Advance: Teams will be able to review much of the background material for the charrette prior to the event. Some of this information is included in this book, and additional files will be available from the Charrette web site.
