The Point is a 62,000 square foot facility located in Westerville, Ohio. Originally constructed in 1969 by Mettler-Toledo as an office/warehouse facility, this Steelox/Armco pre-engineered metal building was renovated in 2016 to serve as the home for Otterbein’s interdisciplinary academic and innovation center.

In 2017, Otterbein University engaged WSA Studios to design the remainder of the space and develop new architectural features that inspire innovation and enhance the University Brand.

The 40,000 square foot interior build-out included a new entrance on the south side of the facility, interior space improvements within the empty shell and modifications within the existing space. The new spaces include technology-rich instructional areas, functioning labs, flexible meeting and collaboration space, and offices. A catering kitchen, coffee shop and game room, along with all necessary building support found in modern campus facilities are also included

This undertaking involves the total renovation / replacement of the 50-year old Koffolt, Fontana and Macquigg Laboratory complex totaling 192,000 square feet. The new and renovated spaces include teaching laboratories, research laboratories, lecture halls, classrooms, offices, distance learning, and penthouse space. Because the site is juxtapositioned within the dense central core of the campus and enjoins adjacent buildings, a multi-phase enabling program is also included to support utility, MEP systems, and swing space needs to accommodate classroom operations during construction. Upon completion, the buildings will house the Departments of Materials Science & Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.

The new 110,000 square foot Schumaker Student-Athlete Development Complex provides a state-of-the-art facility for nutritional, physical, and psychological development of student-athletes for 33 University teams. The facility includes hydrotherapy, training/taping areas, rehabilitation areas, examination rooms, offices, locker rooms, multi-purpose area, full-service kitchen and dining to accommodate all University athletes. Over 800 student-athletes will lift, condition, train, and rehabilitate injuries in the complex while benefiting from nutritional and mental preparation for peak performance. Located in the heart of the Athletic District and connected to the iconic Woody Hayes Athletic Center, the facility will also serve as the training “hub” for 33 Olympic sport teams.

This new 20,000 square foot Microscopy Characterization Laboratory & Research Facility was developed for The Ohio State University Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

The facility houses a number of sophisticated microscopes for the Center for Electron Microscope and Analysis (CEMAS) including several Titan, OSIRIS, Technai, Spirit, ESEM, Quanta, Helios, Magellan, Sirion and Nova microscopes.

This new building complex serves multiple functions under one roof including student life, college of business, bookstore, food services, student services, mail and copy center, and gathering space “hangar”. The configuration and juxtaposition of the building reinforces the newly formed “green” which acts as an extension of the Union to provide a formal connection to the campus.

The Student Life Center encourages social interaction by offering comfortable interior and exterior spaces for various activities. The Central Gathering Place is broken into different zones to support multiple program functions. The Book Store is designed to reflect successful retail planning strategies. The College of Business offers its own unique entry and occupies the entire upper floor including classrooms along an open corridor with clerestory lighting for work sessions and study groups.

This project included a new Student Academic Services Building and a 1500-space parking garage. The Student Academic Services Building relocated core student services functions from Lincoln Tower into a new facility consisting of approximately 71,000 square feet. The services housed in this building include Admissions, Registrar, Financial Aid, Enrollment Services, Fees and Deposits, and Student Loan Disbursements. The Project site was bounded by Neil Avenue, Tuttle Park Place, and Lane Avenue. The corner of Lane Avenue and Tuttle Park Place is a gateway to the Columbus campus. The project design incorporated the new structures into an integrated campus design plan with consideration for the existing recreation center and possible future development.

This 27,000 square foot new basketball practice facility and weight training facility was constructed adjacent the existing Jerome Schottenstein Center for the Department of Athletics. Scope included construction of the new weight training and conditioning facility over the existing loading dock on the west side of the building. The work also included relocation and/or replacement of existing utilities in the area of construction.

“The job your company did on the Schottenstein Basketball Expansion was unbelievable. The Professionalism and attention to detail displayed by everyone is uncommon in today’s industry. We could not be happier with the job.” -Mr. Dave Richardson, Basketball Strength and Conditioning Coach – The Ohio State University

This 19,250 square feet Indoor Golf Facility serves the Men and Women varsity golf teams and offers heated outdoor hitting bays, cart storage building, and associated site improvements located at The Ohio State University Golf Course. “I’ve had several people visit the facility over the past few days and they were blown away by the magnitude of what you have accomplished. Each time I walk in the building, I’m amazed and excited about what has been accomplished. Our team is so excited for the building to be completed and to have a place to call home!” Donnie Darr, Men’s Golf Coach – The Ohio State University
