OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
- MANSFIELD: JOHN O. RIEDL HALL |
|
|
Owner: The Ohio State University 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.
