October 26, 2023 - Columbus Crew SC office space beneath the coal hopper. AIA tour of the Columbus Municipal Light Plant.
"The Columbus Municipal Light Plant, vacant for years until it was restored for office and auction space, is the 2022 winner of Columbus Landmarks' James B. Recchie Design Award.
The plant, located at 577 W. Nationwide Blvd. near Lower.com Field, home of the Columbus Crew, was built in 1903 and operated until the city closed it in 1977.
It took 3.5 years and ultimately $35 million in construction and other costs to renovate. According to Columbus Landmarks, more than 2,000 tons of material had to be removed from the site.
But crews were able to preserve coal hoppers, hopper doors, interior cranes, rail tracks and the tall smokestack, now a landmark itself: yellow with black vertical lettering spelling out COLUMBUS with the Crew logo below.
"What moved everyone was the attention to detail," said Rebecca Kemper, Columbus Landmarks' CEO.
That included adapting an original coal hopper into office space and retaining master switches that once controlled power to Downtown, including City Hall, plus smaller details such as using control wheels as door components, Kemper said.
It's a project where care was taken, Kemper said. "A real understanding that Brad DeHays had a vision for this site," she said.
DeHays is president of Connect Realty, which developed the site. Sandvick Architects of Cleveland designed the project.
In an email, DeHays said his company bought the property in late 2014. He said it is 100% leased and the businesses will employ more than 215. The buildings have a total of 110,000 square feet.
The three-member jury that reviewed the projects noted: “This is an example of a building that could have been lost, but instead it has been reimagined in a way that took creative thinking and attention to detail. The building honors its history through the integration of industrial artifacts throughout, including turning the suspended coal hopper into office space.
"This project demonstrates how even the most derelict industrial building can be brought back to life.” Previous description of the project: www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2022/10/05/columbus-mun...
Structural steel for the Integrated Sciences Complex arrived on Wednesday, December 21, and the steelworkers have been busy erecting two stories of columns and beams on the north wing. The university community will see the ISC take shape as steel continues to go up and metal decks, concrete slabs and fireproofing are installed through the spring.
