Academic & Research Center
Now under construction and slated to open in fall 2009 for occupation winter quarter 2010, the new Academic & Research Center will change the face of engineering education at Ohio University – and beyond.
The facility’s open design will foster collaboration and teamwork among students, faculty, and staff from the Russ College and College of Osteopathic Medicine and others. Project hangars, pathways, a central living room, and studios with flexible furniture will replace traditional classrooms, labs, and student lounges. The building's systems will be exposed to showcase engineering at work.
