9 APRIL 2019 | PAGE 20 <br />CITY OF EUGENE | STEAM PLANT REDEVELOPMENT DESIGN PROPOSAL <br />TAKEAWAYS AND REVISIONS <br />We listened very carefully and heard three themes <br />of feedback on the initial draft design: <br />1. The draft design could do better to fully <br />integrate with the bike path. <br />2. The open space atrium needs to be more <br />active and inviting. A place people will want <br />to return to again and again. <br />3. The draft design could more fully optimize <br />for the main attraction, the river. <br />The design team responded to these themes in <br />three key ways: <br />• building a new, at-grade level within the <br />existing building envelope will enable truly <br />accessible access to the Steam Plant’s <br />public amenities and provide a direct <br />connection to the riverfront park and bike <br />path; <br />• relocating the historic generators and <br />building continuous floors that connect the <br />upper levels creates more human-scaled, <br />occupiable retail/restaurant space in the <br />public realm, and maximizes usable space <br />with views of the river; and <br />• opening the building to an attractive patio <br />along the bike path will invite people to <br />stop for refreshments and enjoy the Steam <br />Plant’s unique proximity to the Willamette. <br />Accessible front entry, at grade <br />CURRENT PROPOSALFIRST DRAFT DESIGN <br />Accessible amenities flank the bike path <br />Ground floor activated by food, retail, and art <br />A place to stop, relax, and enjoy the river <br />Ap <br />r <br />i <br />l <br /> <br />24 <br />, <br /> <br />20 <br />1 <br />9 <br />, <br /> <br />Wo <br />r <br />k <br /> <br />Se <br />s <br />s <br />i <br />o <br />n <br /> <br />- <br />It <br />e <br />m <br /> <br />1
