Master Plan
The new USHJA headquarters building is located on a prominent site at the
Kentucky Horse Park, among other established visitor attractions. The exterior
aesthetics of the new building are designed to compliment the existing park
buildings, yet set itself apart as something new and exciting. This dynamic
new facility is accessible to Horse Park visitors as a new attraction to the
park and a permanent destination.
The building has several components that serve multiple purposes for the organization
and the sports represented. The USHJA headquarters office space services the needs
of the membership while promoting the sport. Both interior and exterior spaces have
been incorporated as seminar and training areas that also serve as entertaining
spaces during special events.
The museum component of the building serves as a dynamic introduction to the novice
and celebrates the sport to the enthusiast. The new USHJA facility signifies the future
and permanence of the Hunter/Jumper Sport in Lexington, Kentucky, the Horse Capitol of
the World.
