Adaptive Reuse in Springfield, OH at U-Haul Moving & Storage of W Columbia Schoolhouse

Building History

The Bushnell Elementary school building was built in 1923 and U-Haul acquired the beautiful brick building in 1980. It is likely that the building was named in honor of Asa Smith Bushnell, two term influential Ohio governor and attorney. Bushnell famously served as the 40th Governor of Ohio though he also served as the president of the Warder, Bushnell and Glessner Company, the president of the Springfield Gas Company and the president of the First National Bank of Springfield. Adaptive reuse building conversions allow U-Haul to promote infill development to meet citizens’ needs while preserving the natural resources and land normally required for new construction. Adaptive reuse also allows resources to be focused on integrating environmentally thoughtful features into the existing building rather than creating waste in the form of demolition and using valuable resources for new construction.
