I think some of the construction timeline information might be new. 
 

“Construction is expected to start in early 2024 for the flagship of the hospital's latest $3.3 billion strategic expansion plan – extending its main hospital tower northward with an addition that might end up taller than its 12-story twin. Children's this fall selected NBBJ as architect and a team led by Turner, Walsh and Smoot construction companies to design and build the tower. The addition aiming for a 2028 opening will house intensive care and specialties including cancer and blood disease. Among other projects in a multi-year expansion along Livingston Avenue, the Wexner Research Institute's fourth building is expected to open in May, with a fifth planned as a future project, and construction continues on Livingston Avenue Orthopedic and Surgery Center. In 2022, Children's became a true health system after acquiring Toledo's pediatric hospital. Meanwhile, royalties and other income from licensing hospital-developed technology remain strong, hitting $69 million in 2021, driven largely by increasing global sales of one of the first gene therapies ever approved. That money goes back into recruiting faculty and funding more research. And the hospital has two more gene therapy spinouts developing technology, as well as a spinoff in clinical trials with a way to combat antibiotic-resistant respiratory infections.”

Oh wow, wonder how tall they are planning on going, can’t wait to see it

I’m going to guess 15 floors. Won’t complain if it’s taller though 😉

 

OSU tower to the NW of downtown, and Children’s to the SE should look pretty nice!

 

More from the RMH expansion

 

 

 

 

 

I was gonna go around here and get some progress pics too. Good thing I decided not too 😂

great minds think alike!  😉

 

haha

 

Signage going up on RB4. It doesn’t look like ground has broken for RB5, but it doesn’t sound like there’s a specific timeline for that one yet, either. 
 

 

Few more from the RMH expansion

 

 

 

 

Some aerial shots of the progress at the RMH expansion site from the architect:

 

 

 

RMH expansion really humming along

 

 

 

 

Couple shots from behind the BHP and the new parking garage next to it 

 

 

 

Interesting post from Meyers Architects about the RMH expansion. Their story shares a site walk through, and the very last post in the story is attached below. I think this is legit? Idk been a long time since I was around this site.

Here’s the listing if you’re thinking of putting an offer in! Check out the property overview section 😂

I wonder if work is gearing up for RB5? A pedestrian tunnel to the conference building has recently gone up, and there’s ongoing utilities work on either side of it. 
 

RB3 and 4 can be seen in the background. 
 

 

 

Ronald McDonald House expansion

 

 

 

 

Wow that's a lot of steel and concrete for essentially a 3-story residential building. Very uncommon and built much more like a hospital than apartments or a hotel

NCH confirmed construction of its new hospital tower expansion will start in October. This rendering appears to be new.

Looks like 15 stories! It's great to see them going taller than the first tower.

I like it, now when they have to add on again they can do 20 stories

Eventually make it one big circle with a 12 story, 15 Story, 20 story, and 25 story towers.

Fencing up at Parsons and Mooberry

 

 

 

Since the first tower was built they have introduced two new master facilities plans. With each, the materials for facades have changed a bit. I am wondering if this will be an exact replica in terms of materials when compared to the original tower or will it vary slightly to match the newer look that they have been going with since ~2015

Has there been an official announcement from Children's Hospital? Or are we just speculating?

 

Beat you to it!!

 

A lot of activity today.

There has been a ton of behind the scenes work as well… kind of crazy how quick this is progressing

Children’s certainly does not skimp on build quality/materials

I'll have to take a photo since I drive everyday past Children's Hospital, but the new tower addition appears to be under heavy construction. I'm not sure what you call it, but the Drill rig has been out all week drilling into the ground with additional heavy machinery to put what appears to be large utility pipes/tunnels.

Can confirm. I drove by on my way to Planks but I didn't get a chance to snap a photo. The site is mostly cleared and shoring is stockpiled. Will it be a 12 or 15 story building?

I believe it’s the same size as the current building, so whatever that is

Ah damn, I must have missed that, thank you. 
 

Edit: every article I have found says it will be 12 stories. Most of those are older, so unless they changed it recently, it is 12.

Here's two extremely bad photos I took of the construction site on Saturday, December 16th.

Don't sell yourself short. These aren't blurry and we can see the actual construction, so they're great photos.

Appreciate it, I'm curious if they approved the new tower yet or if it's just utility work. That stretch of Parsons road has been ripped a part the past few months.

The tower has been approved for a while. But yes a lot of that work you see on Parsons is in anticipation of it starting.

I can promise you it's moving along rapidly.

I don’t remember seeing anywhere that this would have an underground parking garage, but I am here for it. 
 

 

Some random ones from Children's Hospital campus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moving along nicely at NCH

Few quick ones from a very busy Children's

 

 

 

 

 

Snatched a couple quick ones of NCH as I passed by on Parsons

 

(Please ignore the reflection as I can't put that window down now because some like 90 yr old lady turned into my car 😂)

 

 

 

 

Tried to get a few from NCH a little earlier since the job site is quiet today, but it's still a tricky site to get pics from

I know there’s been speculation that it was going to be 15 stories, but I believe this is the first time it’s been reported as such in the media. 
 

Nationwide Children's starts construction on 15-story critical care tower

 

“The project will extend the arc of the existing 12-story tower along Parsons Avenue, according to plans submitted to the city. Plans also include a new underground parking garage and a tunnel beneath Parsons Avenue that connects the main hospital to its growing west campus along Livingston Avenue.
 

The 847,000-square-foot tower, an outpatient surgery center, another research buildings and other facilities are one portion of the $3.3 billion strategic plan announced three years ago. The plan also encompasses research, setting national pediatric behavioral health standards, adding new clinical specialties and reducing health disparities.

 

The top floor will extend over a portion of the north end of the 2012 building, according to plans.

 

A rendering included in March construction documents filed with the city shows an exterior facade similar to its sibling. The plans indicate that basement excavation started in January and the structure itself would start to rise in May.”
