Columbus City Utilities is celebrating the completion of renovations to its headquarters at 1111 McClure Road.
The public is invited to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. today. Mayor Jim Lienhoop, members of the Utility Service Board and other city staff will lead the event.
The renovations included upgrading security, adding a public restroom to the lobby, improving handicap parking spaces, and upgrading furniture and carpet in the business office.
“The main security upgrade included improving access control to secure employee-only areas,” said city utilities officials. “The public restroom, parking spaces, and adjacent sidewalks are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.”
The project was designed by Strand Associates, Inc and constructed by Dunlap & Co., which also built the facility in 1987.
Construction of the improvements took place from September of 2022 to this February, with drive-thru services available for the duration. Now that the work is complete, customers can enter the building for in-person service or continue to use drive-thru, phone or online services.
