Tenant Improvement
A 81,120 SF Midwest headquarters for Chipotle Mexican Grill, located in the Arena District in downtown Columbus. Interior design includes extensive use of sound rated walls, floors, doors, and glazing. A data center is located on level 3, and additional bathrooms, cafeterias, and break rooms were outfitted on each floor to support approximately 400 employees. High-end lighting, lighting controls, and other design features were included to mimic the recently completed headquarters in Newport Beach. Elford coordinated the work of Chipotle’s security, low voltage, furniture, and AV vendors through a virtual preconstruction process due to travel limitations imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This project included the demolition of the existing 24,000 SF Linden Community Center, which was originally constructed in 1951, construction of the new 50,000 SF Community Center facility, and redevelopment of the 19.5 Acre park. Elford reconstructed the new building and incorporated the bricks from the original building. The new park features a spray ground, teaching kitchen, gymnastics room, walking paths, recording studio, full-size high school gym, medical partner space, multiple classrooms for community-wide youth learning, and a new, larger parking lot.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
To address the demand for parking around the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority (FCCFA) Board conducted a site feasibility study resulting in the addition of a new garage on the east side of the Convention Center. The facility is intended to maximize the availability of parking on the site with minimal impact to traffic flow around the area. The precast garage has six levels with approximately 650 total parking spaces.
The parking facility incorporates a single helix design with 90-degree parking and two-way traffic in the two bays. Safety features include glazed stair towers, emergency phones on each level, and open stair and elevator lobbies. Electrical, mechanical, plumbing, storage, equipment, and elevator machine rooms are located on the ground level, which is below the main entry aligned with the first supported level. Located at the ceremonial front entry to the complex, the garage features a kinetic façade to welcome visitors entering from the adjacent elevated roadway interchange.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A new 125,000 SF corporate office including a 75,000 SF interior fit-out with two industrial kitchens, custom finishes, parking garage, and stainless steel slide for the family-owned restaurant operators.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project took what was once a 50,000 SF state-of-the-art movie theater in the Columbus Arena District and converted it into a custom office space for Nationwide Insurance’s innovation center, The CoOperative. The new space features two levels of innovative work spaces, a research lab for user experience observations, conference rooms, a large, open main circulation area, and new windows and skylights to allow natural light to illuminate the entire office.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A 58,445 SF interior office tenant fit-out for BakerHostetler’s Columbus office on floors 10-12 in a downtown urban office building. The reception area is encrusted in light marble and rich, dark walnut. A collection of thin slats of angled wood are located behind the receptionist, offering privacy to the conference rooms behind. All of the wood in the office is from two walnut trees grown in the southern US. Instead of slicing planks, the trees were spiraled resulting in a long grain traveling from floor to ceiling where wood has been placed.
A 30,000-lb., free-standing marble staircase is located in the center of the office with a collection of Chihuly glass pieces on pedestals underneath. The employee dining and lounge area overlooks a view of the Scioto riverfront. Construction was completed as an occupied building.
