There are also several hospitals that might require individuals or families to
stay for longer terms--weeks or a few months. I understand people occasionally
come from great distances to seek care at the Veteran's Hospital, for instance,
and some may not feel comfortable taking advantage of Ronald McDonald house.
As for competing with ihouse? I'm not sure I see it. They're marketing a
whole different experience over there. Not really a Hilton crowd I don't
think.
well, I think we're in agreement. yes, this boutique hotel
could accommodate hospital-related visitors, but surely it's
being planned as a whopping 10-story edifice to accommodate
much more. so, what other types of visitors is it likely to
accommodate? besides the same ones international house
currently provides for?
* Student (full- or part-time)
* Conference attendee
* Prospective student/parents coming for an interview
* Faculty member
* Medical Trainee
* Professional Trainee
* academically-affiliated individual
also, for example, some universities set aside portions of
their student dorms to accommodate their commuter students:

I guess what I'm wondering about is this: I can't think of
any examples where this building would be serving the
residents of the neighborhood. so far it seems to be a
campus-purpose building being built in a residential
neighborhood.
thoughts?
