The new school year officially starts up at Ohio State today, and there’s plenty of new things to be found on campus for students and non-students alike.
One of the largest new facilities on campus this fall is the newly renovated Thompson Library, which includes a vast array of study and research spaces. Another big renovation project includes the former Holiday Inn on Lane Avenue, which just reopened as a new dormitory building. The Ohio Union building still has another 8 months until completion though.
Internally, there are always plenty of new courses and classes to be found, but most significantly, the popular City and Regional Planning minor has become a major degree offering. Environmental Engineering is another new major being offered for the first time.
Some of the off-campus additions include the new art spaces taking shape at the South Campus Gateway, that will offer students a chance to easily connected with the local art scene in Columbus. The new #21 COTA Bus Route is also a new addition that will help students to access late night weekend dining and entertainment options in the Short North, Arena District, and Clintvonville neighborhoods.
Welcome back, students!
