Velodrome Business Plan – Town of Milton 25 4.3 FUNCTIONAL SPACE PROGRAM The functional space program is an important input for the business plan as the type of space that is available in the legacy program will drive the type of future use and programming opportunities. The needs of cycling and non-cycling groups with regard to facility requirements were identified in the consultation phase and the range of facility requirements expressed by each group is summarized in the exhibit below: Exhibit 15: Summary of Required and Desired Facility Features from Groups Mandatory Space Requirement Desired Change rooms with showers Snack Bar / Concession Area Running Track Warm up area Multi-purpose / meeting room Massage clinic/sauna Bike Storage Bike shop Lounge area Bike storage lockers Training Lab Spinning room/area Bike repair area Athlete Medical Treatment Area Meeting/ coaching rooms Gym / Fitness Centre / Weight Room Office Space Yoga room Conditioning facilities Below is a brief summary of the legacy functional space programming currently assumed for purposes of the business plan.

Sierra Planning & Management 26 26 Velodrome Business Plan – Town of Milton It is important to note that as of writing the report, the functional space program has not yet been finalized. The business plan has taken the above spaces into consideration and specifically has been developed based on the following assumptions: � Fitness centre that is open to the public (2,000 sq. ft.); � Food concession area (500 sq. ft.); this is not a café or restaurant. We recommend that consideration be given to greater levels of food service operation but given the ongoing discussion around the functional program and it’s achievement within the existing capital cost envelope, this recommendation is not carried through to the business plan financials; Commercial retail space (ranging from 500 to 2,000 sq. ft. depending on the financial scenario); and � Office space (ranging from 600 to 3,000 sq. ft. depending on the financial scenario). 4.4 FACILITY PROGRAMMING OPPORTUNITIES – INFIELD AND NON-TRADITIONAL USES In addition to the utilization potential identified from the review of track cycling in Canada, the facility has the potential to program for the community in a range of non-cycling sports. The use of the in-field is a secondary use in as much as its programming must accommodate the primary needs of the track users. This translates into a program for the interior space that is somewhat constrained and will require effective and specialised management of the facility as a whole. Six non-cycling groups completed the consultation questionnaire and provided input as to their potential future utilization of the velodrome in-field. Their input has been summarized in Section 4.2. It is important to re-iterate that the infield uses of the facility should operate as a secondary stream of revenue sources and programming opportunities. Track use retains primacy and if managed with this mandate the facility will maximise the potential associated with track revenues. Non-Traditional Uses Velodrome operators worldwide have been keen to utilize infields for non-traditional sporting activities, in order to serve a greater range of low to high intensity sporting enthusiasts and improve the marketability and use of facilities. These sports typically amass a large international following and command world attention through various championships, tournaments and even Olympic Games. The Joe Ciavola (Australia) and Wales National (United Kingdom) Velodromes host boule activities such as boccia and lawn bowls. Notably, boccia is well suited to athletes with physical disabilities and is one of the featured sports of the Paralympic Games. Meanwhile, the Sangalhos High Performance Centre (Portugal) utilizes its space for fencing and martial arts tournaments. This Portugal-based velodrome, as well as the Dunc Gray Velodrome in Australia, has also made room for acrobatic activities such as tumbling, trampolining and baton twirling. The Argyll (Canada) and Invercargill ILT (New Zealand) Velodromes have sought a different kind of appeal by hosting activities that are newer twists on old favorites; with the former accommodating ultimate frisbee matches and the latter utilizing its infield for floor hockey. Other non-traditional infield activities include wrestling (ADT Event Centre), high jump and cheerleading (Wales National Velodrome). Infield use is prohibited during track competitions (and associated set up and take down) and certain team sports are likely to be more limited in their frequency than other court sports. Full details of the utilization of the infield is provided in the financial analysis which follows. Business Plan | January 2012
