Churchill Downs finishes $18 million renovations in time for Kentucky Derby
Apr 26, 2016
Churchill Downs renovations complete in time for Opening Night
Apr 26, 2016
The new clubhouse enhancements project at Churchill Downs is almost complete.
Crews expanded and opened up the Stakes Room, Roses Lounge and Turf Club and added a balcony to the Turf Club.
Bridles now hang from the ceiling of the Stakes Room and are one of many new features that help highlight the rich horseracing history of Churchill Downs.
“There’s actually an etching with horses running and one gold standing out says 89-1,” Churchill Downs president Kevin Flanery said.
The etching represents Donerail, the 1913 Kentucky Derby winner and the longest shot ever to win the Derby.
The following year, Old Roosevelt won the run for the roses and then Regret. All three winners are honored at the racetrack-shaped bar, dubbed the Over the Top bar.
“(They) were the three horses that Matt Winn said put the Kentucky Derby over the top in American consciousness. It made the Derby what it is today,” Flanery said.
Today, the Kentucky Derby attracts more than 100,000 people, many from across the country.
The hidden treasures serve as reminders of how it all started. They’re not only accent points, but history lessons.
“We have redesigned it and really tried to celebrate the history of racing,” Flanery said.
On Derby Day, horse owners and trainers and business people from across the country will be hanging out in the Stakes Room.
The Turf Club is a private membership club, which has newly constructed balcony seating.
“We have redesigned it and really tried to celebrate the history of horse racing. In particular, we have 12 tables, in the wood grain is in the style of the silks of all 12 Triple Crown winners. Little things like that to say, ‘I’m not just having a dining experience, I am having a dining experience at Churchill Downs, the home of the Kentucky Derby,’” Flanery said.
With the renovations, seating has been increased by 41 percent.
Many artistic features were added to reflect the horse racing industry.
The project cost $18 million.
Construction should be completed by Opening Night, which is 5 p.m. Saturday.
Inside The $18 Million Churchill Downs Renovation (And Its Secret Bar)
Apr 21, 2016
The $18 million renovations at Churchill Downs CHDN +% have modernized, opened up and expanded the spaces for premium seating areas in the third floor Turf Club and the fourth floor Stakes Room and Clubhouse. Among the ostentation on Kentucky Derby weekend, there will be an eye sore, however. Walk along the third level, past the owners and their families schmoozing in the Director’s Room, and you will find what appears to be the door to an HVAC utility room.
You will not be able to open it and walk through freely. Access beyond that door requires an invitation from racetrack president Kevin Flanery. Only then will you be escorted in, revealing wing-backed chairs, leather barstools, walnut wood interiors and marble finishes of a dimly-lit speakeasy featuring Woodford Reserve cocktails from James Beard Award-winning mixologist Charles Joly.
“Everyone knows that on Derby Day, the highest value is space,” says Mark Giles, a project manager from Project Control, which handled the new construction. “Anytime you can get breathing room it’s a big deal.” Both in spirit and hard numbers, the 400-sq.-ft. hideaway is the most valuable space paved by the renovations. Giles says it was ”probably the most expensive part of this whole project because of the materials and finishes.”
Churchill Downs is following the recent trend of sporting venues enhancing food and beverage programs from Levy Restaurants. The new premium seating spaces will have live food service pumping out improved dishes and cocktails throughout the day, including offerings from a stone and fire pizza oven and a prime rib rotisserie. There will be varying table sizes, lounge seating, race-day entertainment, in-seat technologies and added wagering windows.
Inside look at Churchill's pre-Derby renovation
As Churchill Downs nears the end of $18 million in renovations to a number of its premium seating and lounge areas, the Central Avenue track offered a glimpse inside them Tuesday to local media. Called the “Clubhouse Enhancements Project,” improvements were made across 82,000 square feet and bumped reserved seating capacity 41 percent, from 1,886 to 2,660. Total reserved seating at Churchill on Kentucky Derby Day will this year be 58,654.
“We’ve really tried to celebrate the history of horse racing at Churchill Downs and the Thoroughbred industry,” said Kevin Flanery, president of Churchill’s racetrack operations. “You’ll see a lot of prints and accent points that are sort of hidden treasures in this new construction.
Here’s what stood out from the tour…
Stakes Room: Churchill’s fourth-floor premium area previously consisted of four rooms. Now it has been opened up, and “during the year we have a lot of opportunities for just the average person around town who wants to come out for a day of racing,” Flanery said. The centerpiece is the “Over the Top Bar.” It pays homage to Derby winners Donerail, Old Rosebud and Regret, who from 1913-1915 former Churchill president Matt Winn said made the race what it is today — or put it over the top. Etched into the bar, which is shaped like the race track, are quarter poles.
Turf Club: The track caught HGTV and Food Network fever in transforming this third-floor space into an open concept, well-lit area where food will be prepared in front of guests. A new pizza oven and massive rotisserie are on hand with meals prepared by a chef. Flanery said he expects “five times more service” to get guests food and drink faster. The turf club’s boxes have transformed from the typical green-railed spaces to white-walled booths with electronic charging stations.

Omni Louisville will be a 30-story luxurious property that will reflect Louisville’s warmth and hospitality, while embracing and celebrating the city’s authentic quality and charm. The hotel will be the luxury brand’s first property in Kentucky.
Set to open in early 2018, the Omni Louisville will be a catalyst to the city’s growth and urban development. Considered the tallest hotel in Louisville and located at Liberty and 2nd Street, one block from the Kentucky International Convention Center, the hotel will be the cornerstone in the city’s most exclusive entertainment, retail and office district, “Fourth Street Live!” The hotel will feature 612 finely appointed guestrooms and suites topped by 225 luxury apartments. Other hotel highlights include:

- Meetings & Events: The hotel will offer approximately 70,000 square-feet of flexible meeting and event space. Meeting and convention attendees will have access to an additional 300,000 square-feet of meeting and exhibit space at the Kentucky International Convention Center.
- Lifestyle: Guests will have access to an urban rooftop pool deck, fitness center, a Mokara signature spa, lobby art gallery and a Speakeasy with a bowling alley.
- Grocer: A dynamic, modern urban lifestyle market will connect to the hotel’s lobby. Transforming Liberty Street into a pedestrian thoroughfare, the market will serve as a community gateway for hotel guests, residents and locals alike.
As part of the larger Omni Hotel project in Downtown Louisville, Calhoun Construction Services was hired by Omni Hotels to renovate and fit out the former PARC building on the Omni project site to serve as their construction offices as well as sales office for the hotel until 2018.
Calhoun Construction served as the Construction Manager at Risk as well as general contractor on the project. The scope of work included inspection and upgrading as needed of existing mechanical and electrical systems to serve the new layouts. Calhoun self-performed all of the demolition on the project, as well as the studs and drywall, acoustical ceilings and painting.
By working with City Inspectors, Calhoun was able to obtain a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Omni Construction offices on the 3rd floor after only two weeks on the project.

HopCat was envisioned, designed, stocked, and staffed with one mission in mind: To bring you great beer. What is great beer? It’s a beer made with care and pride. It might be a local beer or one from across the globe. It could be your usual pint, or a beer that you had no idea existed. Every once in a while, it’s a beer you never would have ordered but for the fact that your server or bartender suggested it.
Since opening their first location in January 2008, they have been on an unending quest to ensure that their beer selection is the best in the world. Listed as one of the Top 50 bars in the US by Draft Magazine. But that’s just the start: Beer Advocate Magazine has ranked them as the #3 Beer Bar in the world, CraftBeer.com has rated them the #2 beer bar in the U.S., and in 2012 and 2013 RateBeer.com ranked HopCat – Grand Rapids as the #1 Brewpub in the United States.
Calhoun Construction Services served as a trade contractor performing all framing, drywall, acoustical ceiling, metal frames/doors and painting.
