Glad to hear the city is trying to reuse these two buildings, especially the Emmis!
The best thing for the Anthem building is total demolition and a total new structure from below grade to a maximum allowed height.
That poor building still sits on the original JC Penney frame and has restricted 21st century mixed use growth!
I agree with raising the old Anthem building and constructing something more easily marketable. It’s not very architecturally valuable and with the proposed parking solution a year or so back, it would be ever less valuable. Maybe the crumbling Sheraton Hotel could take both properties down and redevelop it into a more grand space befitting the circle.
Hmm. Wouldn’t Ball State’s Architecture and Urban Planning programs be a good (better) fit for the Circle?
No, the CAP Indy is appropriately located. There may not even be a planning program in 15-20 years. Purdue would be a better fit and I don’t even think that is the best fit.
The Sheraton Hotel could upgrade and repurpose the circle building adding suites, ballroom and meeting rooms on the Circle. The hotel is so dated currently maybe a major renovation with the main entrance on the circle would definitely give them a major presence downtown competing with all the new hotels.The Circle needs more activity restaurants and bars with outdoor spaces would help. The Circle also needs to be renovated and try something to deter the homeless. Such a underused beautiful space.
Definitely replace all the dead trees.
Neither Purdue nor Ball State have any business on the Circle.
True – it should stay an inactivated space of abandoned buildings and private clubs so we have zero reason to ever go downtown.
Solid city planning strategy!
The Circle has been a work in progress for what, 30 years or so? Nothing seems to stick despite it being, what I think, is one of the most iconic urban spaces in the country. It sure needs occupancy and activity, but if I were a college kid, even going to an urban university, why would I want to go to an old office building in the concrete heart of the city with absolutely no college vibe or amenities. Should I mention messing with parking? Nice idea putting some life in those structures, but yech — for college kids? This after IU PU and I finally had its own little college vibe going. Dan Parker said the city has to think outside the box. Keep thinking!
I was thinking the same thing.
David B., today’s college students tend to favor mass transit over owning a car (or even walking or use an e-scooter) to get around. Having classrooms on the circle doesn’t mean students would be stranded either. It’s a short walk to Mass Ave, or a Red Line trip to Fountain Square and Broad Ripple.
They do not favor mass transit over vehicle ownership. They favor its expansion to supplement their driving. Those that use exclusively transit largely cannot afford a vehicle – but offer them a free car or bus pass and see what they choose.
