Architecture firm again offers class on retail design Tim Lai and Eliza Ho, principals of Tim Lai Architect, will again be partnering with the Economic and Community Development Institute to provide information on opening new stores or revamping existing retail spaces. “Newcomers and experienced retailers are welcome, and our goal is to walk through the store design and build-out processes and highlight the issues our retailers need to pay special attention to,” Ho said in announcing the class on Thursday, July 28. The class will run from 1 to 3 p.m. and it will be held at the ECDI, 1655 Old Leonard Ave. The cost is $35. “There is a lot of interest in this area and it is what ECDI
wants to get more involved with,” Bob Leighty, training coordinator at ECDI, said in a press release. In the past few years, despite the economic recession, retail businesses experienced solid growth in Columbus, according to the announcement. “Given the city’s strong sense of entrepreneurism and a dedicated community supporting local businesses, many stores and restaurants with unique characters opened,” the statement continued. “Some of them have become so popular that their names are known regionally. For example, the Clintonville-based Pattycake Bakery and its deliciously nutritious cakes and goodies have attracted customers
from many Columbus neighborhoods and beyond the city. This successful business is now expanding as it develops a new City Beet Café that will open in early 2012.” During its expansion, Jennie Scheinbach, the owner of Pattycake and City Beet, has found it useful working with architects and designers to materialize her ideas, according to Lai and Ho. “Many retail owners like to do everything themselves and they might not realize they really should focus their energy and time on growing their businesses and leave the design and store build-out part to design professionals to achieve the best results,” Lai said in a statement. The class, now being offered
on a quarterly basis, covers issues such as choosing the right location, knowing license, permit and variance requirements; negotiating a lease; evaluation store efficiency; developing a realistic budget; working with a design professional; and knowing the store construction process. Attendees are encouraged to bring specific ideas about store design and build-out for discussion. There will also be a chance to win a $50 gift certificate sponsored by the Small Business Beanstalk.

PROJECT Continued from page A1 uplighted to announce the city, day or night. Ten streetlights on the bridge will be in the “Worthington” style, similar to those in Old Worthington. A brick retaining wall on the southwest ramp to Route 23 will include the Worthington logo, as will brick, limestone-capped piers at four locations on the bridge. The mast-arm traffic-signal supports at Route 23 and Wilson Bridge Road will include decorative features. Harrington said improvements to the Linworth Road bridge would start in the fall, with most being done next season. ODOT will begin acquiring rights of way for the interchange project over the next 18 months, and utility relocation will begin in fall 2012. Construction is set to begin on Route 23 in 2014 and is expected to take two to two-and-a-half years to complete. The Route 315 section of the project will begin a year later and take almost as long to complete.

by Greg VanHorssen COLLEGE STUDENT TEST SCORES It seems that a significant number of college students are paying a price for pumping up the volume of their MP3 players, according to a small sampling of college students with an average age of 21. One interesting aspect of the study was that all of the students were asked to assess their own hearing before undergoing the hearing test. One quarter of the students who professed to have normal hearing did not. This finding shows that a self-assessment is not a reliable indicator of actual hearing loss. Furthermore, while the degree of hearing loss among most of the students was generally not enough to warrant the use of a hearing instrument, it seems only a matter of time. Regularly listening to personal music players at high-volume setting. when young often has no immediate effect on hearing but is likely to result in hearing loss later in life.
