Design Solutions - Summer 2021 - 29

Originally built in 1929
as an addition to Purdue
Memorial Union, the hotel
expanded several times
over the years and was last
renovated in the 1980s. The
newest renovations highlight
academic-inspired designs
and colors in art, upholstery
and carpet. The hotel will be
used as a learning lab for
students in Purdue's School
of Hospitality and Tourism
Management.
Design of the hotel was
commissioned to Simone
Deary Design Group, Chicago,
while the architectural
woodwork was fabricated
and installed by D&L Wood
Products, an AWI member
firm from Crown Point,
Indiana.
Design Objectives
" The Union Hotel is
physically a part of the
Student Union. Within the
Union there is existing
woodwork that speaks to
the history and legacy of the
university, " explains Pete
Reardon of hotel owner White
Lodging. " It was important to
us that the Union Hotel felt
cohesive with the rest of the
Union and the level of finish
was consistent. However, this
wasn't a restorative project.
We wanted to make sure
that the hotel was modern in
its aesthetic as well. As this
hotel is also the gateway that
many people experience the
university, we wanted the
spirit of the university to be
expressed visually. "
The development needed
to feel seamless from space
to space, provide sight lines
from the union and within
the hotel that pulled guests
deeper into the heart of the
hotel, celebrate the legacy of
Purdue, and embrace where
the university is going next,
adds Carrie Tolman of Deary
Design.
" We created a roadmap
of six pillars that dictated
everything from the interior
architecture vernacular to the
style of trim on the decorative
throw pillows, " she explains.
" Those six pillars were to
reinvent the Union Hotel by
capturing the history of the
university and people that
comprise it; preserve the
existing architecture and
highlight historical details
by keeping the finishes
simple yet poignant; create
a timeless experience that
resonates and inspires the
diverse group of people who
will experience the hotel;
choreograph an environment
that provides improvised
as well as formulated
experiences, bridge the
gap between the multiple
additions to the hotel over
the years by making a
cohesive interior vernacular;
celebrate and capture the
six pillars of Purdue through
visual content; and craft a
layered yet timeless solution
for the furniture as well as the
art that is heavily rooted in
the University's history. "
