    CU Podcast #26: Designing Columbus at MSI

    MSI may not be a “household name” type of company, but they’ve helped to design many Columbus amenities that are widely recognized as some of the best things our city has to offer. Their projects include the Arena District, the Short North Streetscaping improvements, Huntington Park, Grandview Yard, The Scioto Mile and the Gay Street Streetscape just to name a few. In this week’s ColumbusUnderground.com Podcast, we’re sitting down at the MSI offices with Senior Associate Jeff Pongonis, Director of Planning Chris Herrmann, and Urban and Regional Planner Andrew Overbeck to discuss a wide variety of ongoing projects, as well as what the future of Columbus looks like through a designer’s eyes.
