University continues to look for PREVENTION TRAINING BEGINS FOR ‘RED ZONE’ McKinley Commons location First 6 weeks of class BSU spokesperson says hotel, restaurant plans back to ‘drawing board’ ARIC CHOKEY CHIEF REPORTER | aachokey@bsu.edu
Since Ball State dropped the eminent domain case against Chris Hiatt of Hiatt Printing, the university had to restart plans for the McKinley Commons project. “At this point, we’re still deciding where it’s going to be, so we’re back at the drawing board,” said Tony Proudfoot, associate vice president of marketing and communications at Ball State.
Proudfoot said the university has not taken any other steps and is still looking for locations for the project. “The only thing they can really do is buy private property,” said Monte Brown, a commercial real estate agent at Coldwell Banker. Private property, aside from the Village, surrounds Ball State on two sides, which could provide other opportunities for expansion. “Is there room — There’s always room, I think, in several different directions for them to go,” said Jim Mochal, associate realtor at Coldwell Banker. “Directly south would be a challenge to then go out and single-handedly buy properties.”

The original design included a mixed-use, hotel and dining facility as well as an event hall that would provide immersive learning opportunities for Ball State students in the hospitality and food management program. It would have been a four-story structure occupying a 100,000 square-foot area on the corner of McKinley and University avenues, according to the project summary submitted to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. The proposed project was estimated to cost $25.9 million and would have been paid for through tax-exempt revenue bonds.
