Welcome to Campus Connection, where new campus hot-spots and underappreciated organizations get their time in the spotlight.
The eyesore of campus was worth the wait.
After two long years of construction, Ohio State students came back to Columbus to the completed improvements of the Historic Mirror Lake District.
The project redesigned Mirror Lake and the surrounding green area, renovated and modernized Pomerene Hall, and refinished Browning Amphitheater. The budget for the upgrades amassed a total of almost $70 million.
The project also improved the natural landscape around the area, replacing the concrete that ran around the perimeter of the lake with gardens and shrubs.
