CHECK OUT A TIME-LAPSE VIDEO OF THE 2019-2020 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
We worked with Ohio University on Heritage Hall, the $65 million academic home for our Athens campus that opened in 2021. The new facility has made possible innovative, purpose-built spaces for medical education. The design fundamentally changed the way we work, and improved our research and community outreach efforts. Funding for the project came from multiple sources, including $12 million generously provided by the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation as part of the OHF Vision 2020 award.
Partnering with the Heritage College on the Athens facilities were 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.
