    Construction Roundup: The University District

    After checkin in on construction The Short North and Downtown Columbus, our third “Construction Roundup” stop this month is the University District, where multiple large-scale development projects are under way. While the High Street area may currently feel like one long construction zone around the Ohio State University, there’s still other projects likely to commence this year, including a new hotel project, the View on Pavey Square and a replacement for the old Taco Bell.
