Highlights
The APC Staff supported the proposed construction of yet another hotel in the West Lafayette hotel district.
From their report:
As for design guidance, according to the plan: “This block, designated Downtown Village, should continue the theme established on Block 46 with the most intense mixed-use development centered on the Brown Street frontage that highlights the pedestrian-oriented environment…”
With the four-level structured parking garage hidden in the building (being integrated into the hotel building itself), the design emphasis of the building is free to focus on the proper pedestrian orientation called for in the plan. The hotel’s lobby and public seating area is centered on the prominent southeast corner of the building opening onto a planned wider, reconstructed streetscape. This emphasis on the southeast corner continues up the building with the fifth floor containing the main amenity spaces and
café/bistro with outdoor patio.Meeting the Downtown Plan’s policy requirements and designed with a strong, urban pedestrian-orientation, this new standard for urban hotels in our community is a welcome addition to West Lafayette’s downtown riverfront.
