October 20, 200519 yr I don't understand why the college couldn't find another site to locate in Coshocton. There are 2 large open buildings right in town (Big Bear and Wal-Mart) I don't see why they had to move into an historic area and take out a major hotel for the area!

December 29, 200915 yr Central Ohio Technical buying former banquet hall in Pataskala Business First of Columbus Monday, December 28, 2009, 2:05pm EST Central Ohio Technical College has been given the go-ahead to buy a facility in Pataskala to give it needed expansion space. The school that grants two-year degrees wants to use the former Grand Host East banquet hall for classrooms and administrative offices. The 16,200-square-foot facility sits on 4.5 acres at East Broad Street and Taylor Road. The state Controlling Board approved the proposed $1 million purchase this month. Central Ohio Technical said its enrollment increased more than 22 percent in the fall quarter from a year earlier and attributed a large part of that to its Pataskala campus, where it holds classes in temporary space at Licking Heights High School, Tri-Village Christian Church and Watkins High School. It also offers classes in Newark, Coshocton and Mount Vernon. Full story at http://columbus.bizjournals.com/columbus/stories/2009/12/28/daily4.html
January 11, 201015 yr Central Ohio Tech booming in Pataskala College officials seek land that can be turned into a campus Saturday, January 9, 2010 - 3:01 AM By Josh Jarman, The Columbus Dispatch The Central Ohio Techinical College's recent purchase of the Grand Host East property, a former banquet hall on Broad Street in Pataskala, is the first step toward what administrators hope becomes a single Pataskala campus, large enough to handle all class offerings. The 4.5-acre property and 16,200-square-foot building will serve as an intermediate home for the college until it can secure land to build on. College President Bonnie L. Coe said buying the building is part of the college's strategy of expanding educational offerings across its three-county service area. She said the tremendous growth potential of the Pataskala campus plays directly into her goal of leading the state's technical colleges in both the number of students and the quality of education. The school's headquarters and Ohio State University's regional branch in Newark share a campus. The technical school has additional branches in downtown Mount Vernon in Knox County and in Coshocton's Roscoe Village in Coshocton County. But Pataskala is expected to be the college's fastest-growing location.

January 31, 201114 yr Central Ohio Technical College reopens training center sans state aid Business First - by Carrie Ghose Friday, January 21, 2011, 6:00am EST COTC’s rapid enrollment growth, passing a record 4,500 students last spring, has dictated the need for facilities. And despite those facilities and training center, it’s also working to eliminate long-term debt in anticipation of further state funding cuts, said David Brillhart, vice president for business and finance. COTC also opened a Coshocton campus seven years ago and started classes in Pataskala in 2006, buying a former banquet hall at the end of 2009 while it plans a permanent campus. On its Newark campus, a $4.5 million donation paid for the bulk of a new library and student center. The college has made the most of efficiencies, sharing classrooms and 180 administrative staff with the 2,500-student Ohio State Newark. For regional campuses, it pursued capital campaigns, an unusual tactic for a two-year college. Through the thick of the downturn in 2008, COTC raised $5 million apiece toward its Coshocton and Mount Vernon facilities.

Yes, this building is very close to being finished and another nice building to the campus. This building not only changes the campus physically, but it fundamentally changes the from an education standpoint as COTC/OSUN will now be able to offer 2 more degrees, both in Manufacturing Engineering and Technology.
