Expo Idaho Administration Office and Fair Entrance

The project will redesign and reconstruct the main entrance to replace the existing south facing main gates A & B. The new entry will include restrooms and outdoor seating for people entering or leaving the fairgrounds.

The project also includes constructing a new administration building for Expo Idaho staff. The new building will be constructed just east of the existing facility and will be built to LEED standards.

• A modern, user-friendly main entrance to Expo Idaho for patrons.
• New ticket rooms, accessible restrooms, and open plaza area at main gates A & B.
• Improved office space for Expo Idaho staff.
• Upgraded landscaping around the entrance gates, admin office, and roadways in the immediate area.

• The design concept will maximize sustainability in all five of the categories outlined in the LEED Green Building Rating System including sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, and materials and resource efficiency. (LEED certification will not be part of the project.)
• Energy performance will be designed to be approximately 21% above ASHRAE 90.1-2004 standard.
• Indoor environmental quality measures will include the use of low VOC adhesives, carpets, paints, and composite woods.
• Demo material will be recycled to the maximum extent possible.
• New building materials must contain recycled content wherever feasible.
• Building materials must be locally sourced wherever possible.
