Fawcett Event Center — Attraction in Columbus

Today was my first time at this venue for a conference and it was a wonderful experience! There was a very large parking lot outside and the conference I was attending provided parking passes for convenience. There were plenty of spaces so finding a spot to park was not an issue.

Turn left instead onto Argyll St. [several hundred feet north of the Fawcett Event Center] and then turn right where Argyll St. ends and then follow the service road around to the south side of the Fawcett...

The Fawcett Center for tomorrow, originally set up to maintain wosu TV wosu radio, a hotel and a meeting Center. No I think it's businesses for the University where the hotel used to be oh, and the parking is crazy especially if you are handicapped. The premier handicap spots are far from the front door and are for faculty handicapped only. If you're lucky you will find a handicap parking space that is nondescript. I really don't know why I rated this at 5, but I guess having worked at wosu TV, and the woman that I went to meet was so friendly, I...
