A building near the University of Missouri’s campus in Downtown Columbia will likely be demolished.
A permit to knock down the Noodles and Company building at 406 South Ninth St. was submitted to the City of Columbia on Monday, April 28. A notice of demolition sign was placed on April 29, city filings show. The request to demolish filed by the building’s owner, Travis McGee, was dated April 24.
The building was damaged in a fire on March 17, 2024. No injuries were reported in the fire, which was started as a “warming fire” on the outside of the northeast corner of the building, a fire report in previous reporting shows.
“A subject negligently started a warming fire too close to the structure. The fire spread to the exterior of the structure. The fire then burned its way to the interior of the structure causing significant fire damage,” the report says.
A sanitary sewer service connection report for building demolition described the connection as unacceptable.
