AkSarBen Village
Located on the former grounds of the Aksarben Racetrack and Coliseum,
the 250-acre Aksarben Village site will be a mixed-use development of
office, retail, and residential uses that will attract investment and presence
to the mid-town Omaha area. Because of its proximity to local universities
and technology centers, it will be uniquely positioned to be a major
economic engine for the Omaha region.
AkSarBen Village
Aksarben Village will combine state of the art research facilities, offices,
retail, housing, open space, recreation, entertainment, and sustainable design to create a
lively 24/7 environment for researchers, office workers, faculty, students, and urban dwellers.
The development will utilize urban design features such as landmarks, focal points and axes
which will create memorable places that will become gathering points for local residents and
a destination for Omahans in search for the unique urban experience.
The major civic park at Aksarben Village will connect to the open space network of the
region, making it accessible by foot and by bicycle, reinforcing the desire to be at the
forefront of the "new urbanism" movement in the mid-American region.
Parking is available in the parking garage at AKV, address 2232 South 64th Ave (NE corner of
67th & Center). The tour will start at the plaza on the east side of 67th and Mercy Road, west

Tour – The Paxton
In 1882 Brothers CW, WT and JB Kitchen built the first Paxton Hotel for
about $250,000. They named it after Omahan William Paxton, a frontier
entrepreneur active in cattle production, railroading and freight. A $1.5
million demolition occurred in 1929; after 8 months a new Paxton Hotel
opened. The hotel was regarded as one of Omaha's finer art deco buildings.
The interior design was by Marshall, Field & Co. of Chicago, rooms started at
$2.50 a night. In 1966, The Paxton stopped operating as a hotel and became
the location of the Women's Job Corps. The Paxton became a hotel once
again in 1971. Decorated in a "traditional Mediterranean" style, the hotel
featured carpeting on all floors and smoked glass mirrors on the lobby walls.
Virtually every square inch of the hotel was refurbished, with the exception
of three large murals in the lounge. The murals, painted by Nebraska artist,
Leonard Thiessen, were part of the original hotel built in 1929. In 1975 The
Paxton hotel converted to Paxton Manor, a self-care retirement home.
The Paxton
The grandeur of The Paxton in 2004 was restored into an exclusive
condominium residential community with attending shops and offices. Paxton Events, L.L.C
restores the Historic Paxton Ballroom to its original grandeur and reopens the Ballroom as the
premier venue for social, charitable, and business events in Downtown Omaha.

KEY PRESE N TERS
Kermit Baker
Chief Economist, American Institute of Architects
Design and Construction Overview for 2009 and their Implications for Architecture Firms
After suffering through weak economic conditions recently, what’s in store for design firms
for 2009? This presentation will review recent economic and construction trends with an eye
toward opportunities over the coming year: regional and national construction trends; key
concerns of firm leaders, and how the economy will influence emerging developments in the
profession, such as sustainability, consolidation, and integrated practice.
Kermit Baker is the Chief Economist for the American Institute of Architects in Washington,
D.C. In this capacity, he analyzes business and construction trends for the U.S. economy
and examines their impact on AIA members and the architectural profession. He originated
the AIA’s “Work on the Boards” Survey, a monthly assessment of business conditions at
architecture firms, as well as the AIA Consensus Construction Forecast Panel, and writes a
regular economics column for the AIA member electronic newspaper, AIArchitect.
Kermit also is the Project Director of the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center
for Housing Studies at Harvard University. This research effort is aimed at developing an
improved understanding of the dynamics of the U.S. repair and renovation industry.
Prior to joining the AIA, Kermit was Vice President and Director of the Economics Department
at Reed Business Information, where he was responsible for industry forecasting. During his
ten years at Reed, he developed the Top U.S. Construction Markets Report, and served as
editor of Reed Business Information’s Building and Construction Market Forecast newsletter.

The Liberty Memorial: Design Generates New Life, Meaning, Value
A recipient of The American Institute of Architects 2008 National Honor Award For Architecture, The Liberty Memorial project, located in Kansas City, MO, integrates new building additions, adaptive reuse of undercroft space, extraordinary reconstruction, and unique restoration. Enriching our public realm, this project is a cause driven model for redevelopment – it
achieves community goals with design restraint, conservation of resources, and an economy
of means. The presentation will fit together historic and cultural context; public and political process; economic, code compliance, environmental, and conservation drivers; design
solutions that challenge traditional standards for treatment of historic structures; and how
all found expression in the making of a powerful architectural experience. Steve Abend, FAIA,

construction price always required before selection in D-B – What steps do public bodies
have to follow for selecting design and construction firms – What things can be asked in
the RFP, and what things are prohibited – What forms of contracts may be used if QBS/D-B
or CM at-Risk is chosen – Is fast-track construction allowed – What is a Performance Criteria
Developer in QBS Design-Build, and how does this role relate to the design role of the A/E of
Record? Dale L. Munhall, AIA, Leo A Daly 1.5 HSW
