OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY - MANSFIELD: JOHN O. RIEDL HALL
PROJECT PROFILE





Owner: The Ohio State University
Architect: Philip Markwood Architects
Services: Lead (General) Contractor

As lead contractor, Dunlop and Johnston, Inc. coordinated all prime contractors in the construction of the $5 million three story 29,000 SF administration/classroom building. The first floor houses a two story tall entry with a curved glass wall with Northern exposure as the main entrance to the building and connects the east and west wings. The 2 story east and west wings were designed for faculty offices, teaching classrooms, as well as the university’s executive offices. The third story is exclusively devoted to housing the mechanical equipment used in the heating and cooling of the facility. There is also an auditorium attached to this wing with a sloping slab, theater style seating and stage. The building’s exterior skin is interesting in that it combined masonry walls, significant use of curtainwall and aluminum window systems, metal panels as well as hand cut rubble stone.
