Ground was broken on June 7, 2007, on construction of new Neighborhood Policing Center in the University District, the result of a joint commitment between The Ohio State University and the City of Columbus to strengthen neighborhood safety and community ties. University President Karen A. Holbrook, Mayor Michael B. Coleman, City Council member Andy Ginther, and public safety officials joined area residents and community leaders in the ceremony.

Located at 248 East 11th Avenue between Summit and North Fourth streets, the 13,500 square-foot facility will serve as the new Columbus police substation for Precinct 4 and will include permanent office space for University Police, Community Crime Patrol and a Neighborhood Pride Center. Meeting rooms will also be provided for residents and community organizations. Construction is scheduled for completion in summer 2008. Ohio State and the city will share equally in the cost of $4.4 million.
