Division of Design & Construction MSP Redevelopment Project Framework Plan PARSONS in association with AR - 1 Development Strategies . Trivers Associates . TSi Engineering . William Tao & Associates . George Dickie Associates Architecture Introduction The Project Team has conducted a redevelopment/reuse overview evaluation of the existing project structures which were identified in the Process Definition Plan (the Consensus Plan) for further consideration and inclusion in the Framework Plan. The structures evaluated included: • Housing Unit 1 • Housing Unit 2 • Housing Unit 3 • Housing Unit 4 • Housing Unit 5 • Shoe Factory • Furniture Factory • Metal Working Plant • Centennial Cells • Gas Chamber • Potato House • Education Building & Maintenance Building • Stone Walls State of Missouri . Division of Design & Construction MSP Redevelopment Project Framework Plan PARSONS in association with AR - 2 Development Strategies . Trivers Associates . TSi Engineering . William Tao & Associates . George Dickie Associates Architecture Process The Project Team reviewed existing drawings and established background floor plans; conducted building and site walk-throughs; conducted visual inspection and findings; developed existing building diagrams, studied volume/space opportunities and identified potential uses. A generalized program statement for the reuse of the existing buildings was prepared along with functional diagram concepts for the reuse of the existing buildings. These recommendations are illustrated on the following pages and integrated into the site, urban design and community context plan solutions. Buildings Re-Use During the planning process three building re-use concepts emerged as viable solutions within the framework plan. Examples of the re-use scenarios include: • Preserve & Restore (HU 4) • Combination Restore and Adaptive Re-Use (HU 1) • Adaptive Re-Use (HU 2) Summary The build evaluations and recommendations were generally formulated based on the following basic principles: first, preserving the context of the site from a “public” view and a “user” view; preserving the “essence of the prison”; structural considerations of the existing buildings; architectural/historic value; Consensus Plan perspective; and surrounding land use recommendations contained in the Framework Plan.

William Tao & Associates . George Dickie Associates Architecture Housing Unit #1 – Possible Use Redevelopment Issues 1. How should the east elevation be restored once the WPA corridor is removed? The brick infill where H.U. #1 attached to the pre-1885 structure is somewhat unsightly. Rebuilding this structure should be considered in redevelopment plans. 2. Major modifications should be reversed for appearance and historic integrity. These include restoring the roof overhang, rebuilding approximately 5’-0” to the tops of the turrets, 7’-0” of the clock tower and restoring window openings that have been bricked in.

Corners should be retained in order to preserve the boundaries of the enclosed prison site for interpretative purposes. 4. Care must be taken to retain the walls as a key historic feature to the site. 5. Any new openings should be clearly defined as different from restored openings with careful and consistent detailing. Potential Uses 1. Interpretation of the prison site boundaries. 2. Existing sound barrier against rail line to the north. 3. Defines the historic zone. 4. Tourist destination feature as observation points from guard stations. It would be interesting a guard station as a modern example and restore others to an earlier period. Many people would be curious as to what it would be like to have monitored the site for long shifts as they do now. Also, access into the northern guard stations could offer tremendous views up and down the Missouri River.
