Q6 What do you like most about the proposed Steam Plant building revitalization design? Answered: 768 Skipped: 151 #RESPONSES DATE 1 The use of old and new elements.2/21/2019 10:23 AM 2 The river overlook. I think coworking space of any kind would be great. I think subdividing massive office rooms into small affordable studio spaces would be ideal. Artists have great potential to bring wonder, entertainment, culture, beauty and commerce to this space. I have seen other cities with thriving art scenes that are centralized around networks of hundreds of studio spaces. These spaces are critical to a thriving arts community. 2/21/2019 9:43 AM 3 Having a unique place to enjoy our river and gather!2/20/2019 10:43 PM 4 It would be in your best interests to consider adding more intentional artists/scientists/creative spaces. Especially as the city is eyeing a grant dedicated to supporting/enriching such endeavors that builds on the Knight Science campus . I feel this is VERY lacking in your current design. Office space is not particularly needed or wanted from the community at large. 2/20/2019 10:32 PM 5 The possibility of having a vibrant arts cultural hub for production, display, and performance, which would be not only a capitol driver but a cultural draw. 2/20/2019 7:17 PM 6 The open space concept.2/20/2019 6:06 PM 7 Utilizing and showcasing the historical elements of the existing building.2/20/2019 3:34 PM 8 It is a fascinating piece of Eugene history. It inspires the imagination!2/20/2019 1:54 PM 9 The keeping of some historic machinery to juxtapose the modernity. Wood beams are nice.(it would be great if they were recycled from other structures...) 2/20/2019 1:26 PM 10 Art, history, and community!2/20/2019 11:57 AM 11 I would love to see a community space for the performing arts in Downtown.2/20/2019 11:07 AM 12 The steam plant is a cool looking building.2/20/2019 10:53 AM 13 River views 2/20/2019 10:52 AM 14 Celebrating the natural beauty of the river with a beautiful communal space that serves our entire community and brings people closer to the nature of the river. 2/20/2019 10:52 AM 15 Preservation and display of industrial elements.2/20/2019 10:11 AM 16 The preservation of this historic site, as opposed to its demolition.2/20/2019 10:01 AM 17 That it's publicly accessible and a space for culture and gathering. I hope this aspect of it stays true and that the building embraces arts and culture. There are so few dedicated spaces for this in the city, especially for the visual arts so having a space that would allow for that would be very special. 2/20/2019 9:03 AM 18 The video and website only show 3 renderings of a made-over industrial building/decrepit powerplant. Not much vitality, 21st Century Humanity, or even Commercial (trading) value here. The focus should be on joining the Willamette River to the Local Population. There are hints of Transportation "Gateway" or open Congregation/Communication Center here, but I come away with a general lack of progressive community "soul". 2/20/2019 7:45 AM 19 River overlook 2/20/2019 12:50 AM 20 Mixing old and new, educating, bringing work space together with public space. But you need to have space to mix with each other, perhaps having some presentations along the sides to inspire conversations. Have a sprung wood floor, easier on the feet if people are dancing, doing athletics, or just walking a lot. 2/20/2019 12:16 AM 21 More public access to the riverfront along with intentional space for community gathering, business, art, and leadership mentoring especially, all in one location. I like that it could be multipurpose. 2/20/2019 12:14 AM 15 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
