Business First:  First Look: Custom designs for Nationwide Children's Behavioral Health Pavilion bring safety without intimidation

 

With new center opening, Nationwide Children's hosts behavioral health summit

 

Specialists and hospital administrators from around the country converged in Columbus this week to share the best ways to address the growing numbers of children arriving at emergency rooms in a mental health crisis, drawing inspiration in part from the soon-to-open first-of-its-kind pediatric treatment center at Nationwide Children's Hospital.

 

The Children’s Hospital Association wrapped up the two-day Behavioral Health Summit on Monday, with Nationwide Children's as co-host.  Most sessions took place at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, but attendees also toured the new $159 million Big Lots Behavioral Health Pavilion.

Up-to-date aerial photos can be a bit hard to come by, so I wanted to share this recent aerial view showing all the western campus expansion work that Children's Hospital has done.  The Dispatch included this June 2020 view in a story about all the I-70 reconstruction work next to the Children's Hospital properties.  The aerial view looking east and shows all the Children's Hospital projects completed along Livingston Avenue from Grant Avenue to Parsons Avenue:

 

^ The western campus expansion is not quite finished yet -- but it is far enough along to be impressed with the dramatic transformation of that block between Parsons and Grant, as well as the corner of Parsons & Livingston itself.  Here are some before and afters of these areas transformed over the past decade:

 

This is a 2009 view of Parsons & Livingston looking south.  Children's had recently completed a large parking garage on the southeast corner that they were forced to build around a little KFC on the corner.  Across the street on the southwest corner is a recently closed Bobb Chevrolet dealership:

 

This is that same corner looking southward in August 2019.  Children's was finally able to purchase that KFC on the southeast corner and they built a six-story office building in front of their parking garage.  On the southwest corner, the Bobb Chevrolet property was redeveloped by others with multiple new buildings, including this CVS pharmacy building at the street corner:

 

This is Parsons & Livingston looking east from 2007.  This view shows the Children's parking garage being built around the KFC at the southeast corner.  Across the street on the northeast corner, a single-story medical office building is where Children's 12-story hospital tower will later be constructed:

 

Here is that same corner in August 2019.  The 12-story hospital tower with an underground parking garage is on the northeast corner and the six-story office building in front of the parking garage is on the southeast corner:

 

This is Parsons & Livingston looking north in 2009.  The 12-story Children's Hospital tower is under construction on the northeast corner.  Across the street on the northwest corner was an older Kroger store in the background and a Wendy's at the corner:

 

Here is the same corner in August 2019.  The 12-story hospital tower is on the right.  A six-story research building was later completed on the left at the northwest corner of Parsons & Livingston.  A landscaped median was installed down the center of Parsons Avenue north of Livingston:

 

And here is Parsons & Livingston looking west in 2009.  The Bobb dealership property is to the left on the southwest corner and the Wendy's/Kroger property is to the right on the northwest corner:

 

And here is the same corner in August 2019.  The CVS on the redeveloped Bobb property is to the left and the Children's research building is to the right:

 

This is the northeast corner of Grant & Livingston from 2009.  This is at the opposite end of Children's western campus expansion along Livingston Avenue.  In 2009, this corner was being used as remote parking for employees of Grant Hospital located downtown.  Grant Hospital later constructed a parking garage closer to their downtown location, which freed up this property for development:

 

This is the same corner from 2017 after Children's built a six-story Ambulatory Center on the corner.  It was finished in a similar style as the six-story research building built at the corner of Parsons & Livingston at the opposite end of Children's western campus expansion:

 

And finally, this is a 2009 view from Livingston Avenue about halfway between Parsons and Grant looking northward toward downtown.  This might be the most dramatic transformation among all the dramatic transformations in this area.  The remote parking lot is to the left.  To the right is the football field for the Columbus Africentric School that was located near Grant & Livingston.  Children's Hospital purchased the Africentric School properties in this area and the school built a new school campus on the city's east side:

 

Here is the same view from November 2019.  The new Children's buildings on the property are from left to right -- the previously shown six-story Ambulatory Center - a free-standing parking garage - and the nine-story Behavioral Health Pavilion, which is the centerpiece of the western campus expansion:

NBBJ has filed a Preliminary Plan Review application for a new 7-story research building on the NCH Campus. 

 

 

Based on the description and the address, it appears to be building number 6 from the strategic plan map for the campus. 

 

 

Here is a screenshot from a video NCH made explaining the strategic plan. I believe the green building on the left is what will be built. It appears to have 7-stories in this conceptual rendering. 

 

My friend lives in Schumacher Place near the hospital.  I was driving down Livingston today and it looks like major ground has started moving on Research Building IV (6 in the diagram).  In my picture, you can see Research Building III (5 in the diagram).  In the aerial shot posted by @Columbolast month, it doesn't look like much had started yet.

 

A little over a month ago, I posted a bunch of before/after photos of the Children's Hospital redevelopment of their main campus at Parsons & Livingston and the development of their west campus along Livingston Avenue.  Previous to that I've posted plenty of photos of the new 12-story tower built on Children's Hospital main campus.  But I've never come across any photos taken from the new 12-story hospital tower looking outward at all the new development at Parsons & Livingston.  Until now.

 

This reddit thread showed this photo taken from the hospital tower looking southwest toward the corner of Parsons & Livingston:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/comments/iirxfr/storms_moving_into_columbus_yesterday_from_the_sw/

 

It's actually a series of five photos showing a severe storm that blew through Central Ohio last week (which is pretty interesting to check out).  But I wanted to post this first photo here because it shows a different perspective of the Children's Hospital development and the redevelopment of the former Bobb Chevrolet property at Parsons & Livingston:

• In the foreground is the public plaza on top of the underground parking garage that was built along with the Children's Hospital 12-story hospital tower.  You can even glimpse the below-grade vehicular access at the bottom right in the image.
• In the middle ground are the two six-story buildings built by Children's Hospital on opposite corners of Parsons & Livingston - an office building to the left and a research building to the right.
• But the view into the background showing the redevelopment of the former Bobb Chevrolet property is fascinating.  The CVS building is at the street corner.  Viewable over the CVS roof are a complex of 3 and 4-story apartment buildings that fill out the interior of the former car lot and abut the Schumacher Place neighborhood.  And if you go to the reddit thread, when you click on the above photo and blow it up to full size - you can see the Beck Elementary School roof poking above the neighborhood tree canopy and view part of the Grange Insurance office addition that faces High Street(!)

It would be amazing if that CVS was replaced with a 6 story building also.

A 16 story building would be even better. Unfortunately, you would probably get some push back from GV residents because you would be able to see the building from the top of the steeple on St. Mary's Church.

Was there a reason that the CVS was only one story? I didn’t live here when all that was planned and haven’t looked into it much. Seems weird to build 6 story buildings and then put a boring 1 story CVS on the other corner.

The six-story buildings were developed by Children's Hospital and the former Bobb Chevrolet car lot was redeveloped by someone else.

I get that. Still seems like a weird place to just throw a one story.

The CVS was first. There was no 6-story precedent to match.

 

Children's built the L shaped garage that is now connected to the office building on the first and fourth floors. Prior to the office building there was a KFC that Children's could not acquire no matter what they tried. Eventually, the owner of that parcel gave in thus paving the way for the office building to be built at a height that matched the garage. 

 

With the CVS being less than 20 years old, I don't anticipate it going away soon. That being said, 16+ stories -- hell, up to 20 would work imo because it sits on US route 33 -- with a CVS keeping a retail spot on the first floor would be a wonderful finishing touch to this intersection. 

FYI - GV hates the Children’s Hospital developments. It was mentioned frequently during the public comments at the GV Commission meeting for the McGown hotel as an example of poor development. ?

^^ I don't know why the can't use that type of brick siding along all of the garage or at least some other material over part of the concrete so it is not just bare concrete and nothing else.  Would it be impossible to use some kind of metal or other type of panels over the concrete so it is not quite so obviously a hulking concrete parking garage? 

 

There really should be a law that especially in the older parts of the city, you cannot just have a naked concrete garage-that all visible sides should have to have some kind of treatment so that at least 50% of the concrete is covered or something. They are necessary but they don't have to be such damn bare naked concrete uglies.

^^I noticed that on the German Village side of Livingston the city is installing traditional sandstone curbs. They look really nice.

It looks like we have a 197’ tower crane coming for the new research building.

The building will be 125’ tall.

Crane is up now.  Was in the car with friends and couldn't grab a picture.  I live a few blocks south of the hospital now and can grab one soon if nobody else does.

Makes me wonder...with all of the new facilities they have, where will all the new employees look to live. OTE and German Village would make sense because of proximity but I feel like those neighborhoods don’t have much vacancy nor do they have a lot of new development.

That’s why it’s pushing east also. Just a few blocks down Livingston, they are fixing up some older properties. So I’m pretty sure it’s going to push further south down into Hungarian village, and east of parson

Interesting... all poured concrete thus far. All of their recent projects (including RB III which this is connecting to and the FOB caddy corner) have been curtain wall with steel framing. I wonder why the change?

 

what an imposing presence along Livingston. I love it.

^I've noticed on some research buildings concrete construction is the choice. I'm no structural engineer but I think it has something to do with vibration and its negative effect on research equipment. On some steel frame buildings you can feel the floor move. This building is on Livingston and I bet bus and truck traffic would shake the building.

Yeah I love height along Livingston, hoping they finish the whole length and had some 15 story or taller buildings. Mostly just to upset people in German village.

I sure hope so! 😁 They’ve also recently requested rezoning permits for the lots east of Parsons in the Southern Orchards neighborhood. I’ll have to go through the requests again to see what their wanting, but I’m hoping it’s more height.

I think it's interesting that this isn't what this building looked like in any of the diagrams that were posted earlier in the thread.  The diagrams show a curved building that is set back from Livingston.  This is flush with the street and has great street presence.

Guess I never noticed that. Wonder why and when it changed. I will say when I drive by, it does have amazing street presence.

Noticed this on a rental site, I don’t remember seeing anything about a building going up in this area. This building with the new nationwide building IV will do a lot for street presence along this section.

Hmm, looks like one of the lots NCH was hoping to get approval for rezoning?

^ probably should remove the Giant Eagle logo and replace it with a whale.

Spanning from 9th to Washington. It's a significant spot, replacing/combining a lot of smaller parcels and seemingly abandoning Dutch Alley at Livingston. It seems to be preserving the building that Rheem is in at Washington?

The lots that NCH wants rezoned sit behind the L garage and the RMH building. My guess is that RMH needs to expand their footprint - it used to be the Largest RMH until Cincinnati RMH expanded recently.

Yes, it appears to be keeping that building. This site plan is from here: https://goodmanrealestate.com/properties/german-village-redevelopment.html

 

Also, while that page says it's in German Village, it is not within the boundaries of the German Village Commission. It's within Schumacher Place and the South Side Area Commission boundaries.

Thank you, there wasn’t much information on the page I found it on. Glad it is outside of German village, though they will still probably get mad. Hopefully the rest of the spots east of this start filling in, another 4-5 story building would look great along here. 

The folks at the GV Commission meeting I attended HATE all the Children's Hospital buildings. I don't doubt they will hate this as well.

My bad, I can’t read maps apparently 😂 I knew they wanted to expand RMH, and possibly add more commercial on the two current surface lots.

Wow, not often the retail gets claimed before the building even starts construction -- looks like there's some pent-up demand there. Hopefully other developers will follow suit!

There's alot more to these Children's Hospital projects then just attractive exteriors.  The work that is done inside these buildings is amazing and life-changing.  NBC Nightly News was in Cleveland for their broadcast tonight and traveled to Columbus for an inside look at the one-year-old Behavioral Health Pavilion.  Specifically, a look at the groundbreaking Psychiatric Crisis Department being run in that new building:

 

I believe this demo next to the newest research building started yesterday. Anyone know if there’s current plans to build over it?
