Abstract
Our project is rooted in the acknowledgment of the Olentangy River as a natural treasure that courses through Columbus and alongside Ohio State University (OSU). Furthermore, the OSU Olentangy Riverfront, stretching from West Lane to 12th Avenue, is an area with immense, yet untapped potential for the university in terms of community, recreation, and environment. Throughout the history of the Olentangy River, there have been many changes to its structure and surroundings to increase the well-being of the citizens of Columbus. However, while the downtown areas have experienced development that has significantly increased the aesthetics, health, and therefore community engagement alongside the Olentangy River, there has been a lack of development north of the city, specifically on the campus of Ohio State University. Our team is attempting to help solve the lack of access and opportunities that are currently presented on the riverfront of the Olentangy. Therefore, we investigated three key factors to elevate the OSU Olentangy Riverfront: recreation, community, and environment. Our team then utilized case studies from other riverfront areas in order to determine trends and recommendations that are both applicable and realistic for implementation by Ohio State University.
