Village Apartments Arcade Element

An architectural arcade feature is recommended to create a facade element that fronts and faces the Transit Center. This will create a direct connection between the Village Apartments buildings and the center plaza spaces, even though there is no direct access from the plaza into the buildings. This element also acts as a shade structure and protects seating and signage that is designed for transit passengers. A keyed entrance from the arcade to the driver facilities will be accessed from the plaza.

• Architectural Arcade Feature will unify Community Center and Day Care and create a “front” facade to the Transit Center.

• With the shift in the property line configuration between the Transit Center and the Apartments, there is a need to further set back the Community Center and Day Care. Additionally, the setback should take into account the depth of the arcade.

• Benches, signage, and lighting will be incorporated into the arcade along the building fronts, and the center section of the arcade will become an open trellis with a fence behind that protects the day care open space. There may or may not be entries from the fence into the day care open space.
