The Ohio State University isn't just a campus in Columbus. As a land-grant university, Ohio State has a physical presence throughout the state, with campuses and research centers located around Ohio.
Columbus, where the main campus is based, is home to Ohio State and one of the largest universities in the United States—is in the midst of a cultural renaissance that's drawing visitors and transplants alike. The city's climate is characterized by hot, muggy summers and cold, dry winters. Columbus is home to several notable buildings, museums, large parks and attractions, festivals and shopping centers.
Ohio State's 7.14 km2 of main campus is approximately 4.0 km north of the city's downtown. Four buildings are currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Hale Hall, Hayes Hall, Ohio Stadium, and Orton Hall. Unlike earlier Ohio state universities such as Ohio University and Miami University, which have campuses with a consistent architectural style, architecture on the Ohio State campus does not conform to a unifying theme such as Gothic revival or Georgian. Instead, Ohio State's buildings are a mix of traditional, modern and post-modern styles.
One of its main sights, William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, is the North America's 18th largest university research library with a combined collection of over 5.8 million volumes.
