Attached are the latest designs for the Campus Advantage project on Forbes Avenue. The developer presented these designs at the Public meeting on Wednesday, February 3, 2016.

The new designs have a significantly larger footprint for the building because they include the neighboring lot (Arby's). The designs also show a lower building height than the original drawings.

Please review the attached designs and provide any feedback, concerns, or questions you have. OPDC intends to sit down with the developers prior to their Planning Commission briefing.

Planning Commission briefing: Tuesday, February 23
Planning Commission hearing: Tuesday, March 8.
