IUP, foundation to develop hotel adjacent to campus

Indiana University of Pennsylvania and its foundation this morning announced that The Horizon Team has been chosen to develop a hotel just off campus that will be connected to the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex.

The winning group represents Horizon Properties Group LLC and Summit Development Consulting Corp. The selection was made by a committee of university and community leaders, project planners said in a statement announcing the move.

A feasibility study has recommended that the hotel be full-service and upscale and that it have 140 rooms and both banquet and meeting facilities. Also recommended was selection of Hilton, Marriott or Hyatt as a preferred franchise, and lobby retail space for a hotel shop, project planners said in announcing this morning's selection, project planners said.
