Pomerene Hall

The Ohio State University

Location:
Columbus, Ohio

Architect:
Acock Associates Architects

Construction Cost:
$43 million

Project Size:
122,265 SF

Award:
AIA Ohio Merit Award, 2020

This project renovating two buildings from the early 1900s required major interior and exterior renovations to provide space for faculty and staff offices, conference/meeting rooms, classrooms, computer labs, data storage, and support areas. As both buildings have historical significance, the original characteristics of the building were retained. The work on Oxley Hall included new framing for mechanical work and reframing roof areas that were deteriorated.

SMBH designed the 19,000 SF facility with the ground floor on two levels, as the building is carved into the landscape. The roof structure has several inclined planes with openings carved in the roof over exterior plazas and entrances and three skylights carved into the roof above interior spaces. The exterior cladding is a glass curtain wall to maximize available light in the space and other materials to match the urban setting.
