Property Description:
The Ravenna Housing property is approximately 108 acres and is located south of Summit Road in Franklin Township in Portage County, Ohio. The property is bordered by residential land use on the western side, Campus Center Drive intersects the middle of the property, the Ensinger property is adjacent to the eastern property line, and to the south is the Urban property. This site is within the Cuyahoga watershed and consists of mixed hardwood forest, three creeks, a pond located southeast of the Rec Center, a stream that runs near the northeast edge of the property and empties into the pond, and a man-made wetland, built in 2001, located near the middle of the eastern property line. The wetland consists of 10 wetland basins and 2 stream pool areas that were created to offset the draining of another wetland when Kent State's Rec Center was built. Numerous buildings can also be found on the property including the Rec Center, Allerton Apartments, the KSU Power Plant, and the Sport Complex Field Houses as well as parking lots. This property is also the potential future site of temporary soil storage from construction on the Kent campus.
