Purdue Hospitality Services is a full-service catering and events management office housed within the Purdue Memorial Union. As it stands, the Hospitality Services Office is outdated, uninviting and disconnected. The director, managers, and employees request a better layout for their space that removes the existing divide between the catering and events departments, a space that excites and invites customers to seek out their services, and a space that stays true to the Purdue Memorial Union in which it resides.

The design of the Purdue Hospitality Services focuses on a concept of integrity through the reflection of the Purdue Memorial Union’s architectural representations, effectively integrating the hospitality office into the union’s structure and design ideology. This integration is exemplified through the carrying of the existing stained glass window color palate and union architectural styling into the Hospitality Services Office’s styling and material selections. An updated, open floorplan effectively blends the catering and events offices with each other and into the Memorial Union itself.

Concept & Inspiration

Purdue Memorial Union Architecture | Integrity

• The stained glass windows represent the mixing of students of all races and creeds within its walls.

• The interior stone arches represent the ruggedness, sincerity, and individualism of the students.

• The up-swept arches of the windows symbolize the youth and spirit of the Union.

Purdue Hospitality Services reflects these Union Architectural Features, integrating the customer into the Memorial Union’s structure and design ideology. This modern proposal is shamelessly integrated within the existing space, paying full homage to the history and culture of the building and Purdue University
