We’re working with Ohio University to plan a new $65 million academic home for our Athens campus that will anchor the university’s future Union Street Green. The new facility makes possible innovative, purpose-built spaces for medical education, as well as fundamental changes to the way we work and improvements to our research and community outreach initiatives. Funding for the project comes from multiple sources including $12 million generously provided by the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation as part of the OHF Vision 2020 grant.

Partnering with the Heritage College on the new Athens facilities are the DesignGroup , an architectural firm with offices in Columbus and Pittsburgh; Perkins+Will, an architectural firm headquartered in Chicago; Donley's , a Cleveland-based construction company; and the University Planning office of Ohio University.
In 2016, Ohio University brought completed a comprehensive campus master planning effort aimed at translating the university's strategic goals into a physical plan that focuses its resources to meet present and future demands on facilities.
Ohio University planners are developing a strategic plan to make the best use existing parking while preparing for future projects.
