redeVeLoPment of the Corner of dePot street and King street

ConCePtUal redeveloPMent of existing single story bUilding as 3-story Mixed-Use bUildings The proposed three story buildings include ground level retail space that wrap the frontage of both King Street and Depot Street and could contain either upper story residential or office uses. The significance of the clock on the corner are a nod to the importance of Depot Street as a gateway from the campus to the downtown.

ConCePtUal infill bUilding Using a ConteMPorary styling

Because of the downhill slope from King Street to Howard Street, a 3 or 4 story building along King Street translates to a 5 or 6 story building

along Howard Street. This image suggests the use of a contemporary style that reflects an

interface between the campus buildings along the south side of Rivers Street and the simple

historic facades along King Street.

PlaCe gaMe This tool was used during the

public walking tour of downtown Boone to give the design team a

sense of what areas the community values and what makes those

“places” successful. More than 60 residents, business owners, and other stakeholders participated

in the walking tour. Each individual scored the various areas

of downtown using the survey sheet at right. The average scores for each area are reflected in the

table above with 4 being the best possible score on the listed

attributes and 1 being the worst score.
