A bold new vision for building community and ensuring the district’s character is appropriately established, implemented, and reflects the needs and aspirations of the community it serves.
The Ohio State University and the Science and Technology Campus Corporation (SciTech) have partnered to develop an enhanced research and residential district in Columbus. Carmenton is a well-positioned engine for innovation, sustainability, and residential growth adjacent to The Ohio State University community. The vision for Carmenton is a collection of neighborhoods that complement the University’s Framework 3.0 master plan, emphasizing urbanity, connectivity, collaboration, and a phased development approach.
Building on the Carmenton District Master Plan and Framework 3.0, the Design Guidelines represent the next step in advancing the vision for this dynamic community, ensuring that the objectives and principles defined in those efforts are reflected in the built environment. The Carmenton Design Guidelines establish all the fundamental physical and intangible elements necessary to cultivate a dynamic and evolving community. These design principles, review process, character, and urban form have all been carefully crafted to reimagine the possibilities of underutilized land and increase Carmenton’s overall character and attractiveness as a premier district within Columbus.
