A developer aims to build a 7-story, 229-unit apartment building on the Summit on 16th church site in the heart of a University District neighborhood.
Several oppose the Up Campus plan, including the Columbus Landmarks historic preservation group, which placed the church as one of five sites on its 2023 most endangered list.
In 1977, the Wesley Foundation, Indianola United Methodist Church, and University United Methodist Church combined, creating the new Summit United Methodist Church. The multipurpose room became the church’s new worship space, designed by noted mid-century architect Edward Sövik that included flexible seating and podiums that can be rearranged to accommodate both civic and church functions. Landmarks believes it should be preserved and repurposed.
Rebecca Kemper, Columbus Landmarks CEO, said,"We’re really interested in listening to the voices of community to see what is needed." Kay Bea Jones, a University Impact District Review Board member who lives near the site, said the project is too far out-of-scale with the rest of the neighborhood.
