10 TV: A hotel near the Ohio State campus that is popular with tailgaters during football season is set to be sold to the university and converted into a dormitory. Campus Partners, the redevelopment agency for the university, has announced an agreement to purchase the Holiday Inn on the Lane...
Doug Aschenbach, the interim president of Campus Partners said that Ohio State plans to turn the hotel into a dormitory in time for September's start of the new school year. "In terms of student housing, it's an affordable way to bring extra bed inventory online because it's a property that's already there with minimal renovations," Aschenbach said.
The hotel, located across Lane Avenue from campus and a short walk to Ohio Stadium, is filled during home football games with revelers enjoying Hineygate, the tailgate party hosted at the site. Students reacted with excitement at the possibility of living this fall at the hotel.
Ohio State is considering keeping Hineygate going even after converting the hotel to a dormitory. The deal to purchase the hotel should be completed later this month. The hotel is set to close at the end of March, with renovations taking place during the summer.
