July 15, 201212 yr There's been several times in recent weeks where I catch myself being surprised by the outline of the tower lit up with all of the construction lighting at night. I was visiting friends in hilliard and there's definitely some good views of it there which caught me off guard. Although I guess alcohol could also have been involved as well. :)
September 4, 201212 yr Thanks for the update c-dub! That photo from Ohio Stadium is quite impressive. And don't worry about the photo quality. It's no worse than the Labor Day weekend weather we had in Central Ohio, right?
September 4, 201212 yr Yes the weather was muggy and humid but for the most part it didn't rain during the game. Yeah it is impressive looking at the new tower from inside Ohio Stadium. I still wish I had a real camera because that view from my seat was amazing. Also the new HD video screen was really nice and the sound speakers were very much improved.
November 30, 201212 yr Couple of photos of the big medical tower expansion at the OSU Medical Center (now called the OSU Wexner Medical Center). The first is an older night-time construction photo being used as the background photo at the OSU Wexner Medical Center's twitter account. Wanted to share because it was just a lovely view with the lights reflecting on the Olentangy River: But the real construction update photo is from Columbus Underground's Construction Roundup: Nov 2012 - Part 2. This photo shows the glass being installed up the building frame of the tower. You can just the pace of construction by comparing this November photo with c-dub's photo from September:

September 8, 201410 yr OSU Trustees approved $1.9 million (along with another $1.9 million coming from the City of Columbus) to complete design work to relocate Cannon Drive next to the Medical Campus. This project is estimated to begin construction in January 2016 and take two years to complete: Ohio State could start moving Cannon Drive in 2016 By Carrie Ghose, Staff Reporter Columbus Business First - Aug 28, 2014, 2:57pm EDT Hey, remember Ohio State University’s plan to move Cannon Drive? Probably not – that’s why you need nerds like me. Back in 2011, the University and City of Columbus started “pre-design” on a plan for a westward shift and straightening the curving city street between OSU Wexner Medical Center and the Olentangy River. The $37.7 million project would open up 12 new acres for the landlocked hospital campus to develop, plus create additional flood protection for the medical center, while turning current parking lots into green space. The stretch runs between Herrick Drive and King Avenue and connects with exit and entry ramps of Route 315.

October 31, 20168 yr Ohio State Wexner Medical Center to spend $241M on construction and equipment (with no new debt) By Carrie Ghose, Staff Reporter - Columbus Business First September 2, 2016, 1:37pm EDT Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center plans nearly a quarter-billion dollars in construction and equipment purchases in the budget year that started July 1 – and all of it in cash. Out of $241 million in projects, the only new structure the health system will build is the first of two planned parking garages at a location still to be determined. The rest is interior work on existing hospitals and office buildings, including opening 72 more patient rooms in the 21-story hospital tower that opened in late 2014. The largest single project is $60 million to complete the interior of two tower floors left unfinished until the capacity was needed. Adding the rooms will double University Hospital's 72-bed critical care unit, which shares the tower with 276-room James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute. ... An 1,100-space, $25 million parking garage will help replace spots to be lost on surface lots when Cannon Drive is straightened closer to the Olentangy River, opening up 12 acres for future medical center expansion.

One targeted site is on Herrick Drive between Cannon Drive and Neil Avenue and the other is on a parking lot near Dodd Hall at Medical Center and Cannon drives, according to documents to be presented to OSU trustees at their meeting this week. A third as-yet-undisclosed site is also under consideration, OSU spokesman Dan Hedman said. The $58.3 million project will add 2,295 parking spaces.

Or is Ohio State footing the bill, only to let CampusParc reap the benefits?
November 4, 20168 yr Since Ohio State sold rights to parking to CampusParc, is CampusParc going to be funding the new garages? Or is Ohio State footing the bill, only to let CampusParc reap the benefits? I'll attempt to answer this CampusParc question since it is at least tangentially related to the OSU Medical Center parking garage news. Also, since I am not employed or affiliated with OSU or CampusParc, I'm getting this answer from publicly available sources. For some context, here is the original 2012 report about the OSU/CampusParc deal: http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2012/06/08/osu-makes-parking-decision-deal.html And here is a 2016 status update about the OSU/CampusParc deal: http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2016/01/29/despite-complaints-parking-deal-results-in-millions-for-ohio-state.html From those two sources, it appears that the CampusParc organization is responsible for the management and maintenance of all OSU-owned parking facilities (lots and garages) that are part of its lease agreement with OSU. It also appears that OSU is responsible for the construction of any new parking facilities that were not already existing at the start of its lease agreement with CampusParc. It's also possible that the lease agreement between OSU and CampusParc has a provision for shared costs for any new parking facilities (or an extra payment from CampusParc to OSU in lieu of shared costs) - but I've not seen any reporting to verify that.
November 9, 20168 yr Ohio State's Cannon Drive relocation will mean 2 years of traffic headaches A major road construction project on Ohio State University’s medical campus could cause a traffic logjam for workers, visitors and football fans through early 2019.

January 26, 20178 yr Ohio State Wexner Medical chooses shuttles over garages to replace lost employee parking lots Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has delayed a proposal to build two parking garages to replace 1,900 surface spots lost to the relocation of Cannon Drive, administrators said Wednesday. Instead employees will use an improved shuttle service from west campus. Not building garages "at this time" saves $50 million to $75 million, said Bob Schottenstein, a past OSU trustee and a community member on the board's medical center and facilities planning committees. Last fall officials had narrowed sites for two proposed garages costing $58 million.

November 30, 20177 yr OSU Announces Second Medical Center Tower The Ohio State University made a major announcement late this afternoon about a hospital expansion that would continue to transform the growing Wexner Medical Center. A request for qualifications (RFQ) was released earlier this month for the construction of a new inpatient tower and outpatient care facility. “The Wexner Medical Center has unprecedented opportunity for transformative growth,” stated Ohio State President Michael V. Drake. “A number of our most important indicators are at historic highs and accelerating. At the same time, our strategic plan calls for bold thinking to define the future of academic health care. We envision a medical campus in which all building projects integrate and support each other — and where the very best people work together across areas of expertise to further elevate the quality of the medical center and the entire university.” More below: http://www.columbusunderground.com/osu-announces-second-medical-center-tower "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

August 19, 20186 yr Updating a post from 2016 about the massive Cannon Drive relocation project - which is underway next to the OSU Medical Campus. OSU now has a dedicated website for the Cannon Drive project at https://fod.osu.edu/cannondrive. That website shows the four phases of construction for the Cannon Drive relocation project. So I'm updating my previous post to incorporate this information: The previous configuration of Cannon Drive between John Herrick Drive (northern extent) to King Avenue (southern extent): The four phases of construction for the Cannon Drive relocation project from https://fod.osu.edu/cannon_07 The final configuration of the relocated Cannon Drive between John Herrick Drive and King Avenue: This Cannon Drive relocation project is part of the university's Framework 2.0 master plan to support future growth of the university and the Medical Center. -- Cannon Drive will be straightened and moved closer to the Olentangy River. The relocated road will also be raised 8 feet - which will provide flood protection for the medical center by removing it from an existing 500-year flood plain. -- The project is removing a huge 1900-space parking lot that was located between old Cannon Drive and the river. The space between the new Cannon Drive and the river will turned into green space. -- The new location of Cannon Drive will also create 12 acres of developable land to allow for the future expansion of the OSU Medical Center, including a planned $1 billion new medical tower. More about the project at https://fod.osu.edu/cannondrive
August 19, 20186 yr Some recent news about the Cannon Drive relocation project: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2018/08/13/cannon-drive-update-one-rt-315-off-ramp-reopens.html -- In May, the two ramps connecting the old Cannon Drive to the State Route 315 freeway were closed into the project area next to the Medical Center in order to expedite construction for the new Cannon Drive. -- This week, the southern-most ramp connecting SR 315 into the project area was reopened. This is an exit ramp from northbound 315 to the Medical Center. Part of the new Cannon Drive, located between King Avenue and this ramp, also opened. -- The northern-most ramp connecting SR 315 and the Medical Center is still closed. This on-ramp to southbound 315 is scheduled to reopen in late November.

May 1, 20196 yr ^ Just getting around to posting about this February story about the relocated Cannon Drive next to the OSU Medical Center. Below is an aerial from the print edition of Business First showing the relocated Cannon Drive (with snow because its from February!)
May 2, 20196 yr So this whole thing is being built as originally planned still, right? That article says "replacement" for the 840 beds. It's not an addition? What's going on with the old building with the beds? Just curious.

What's going on with the old building with the beds? Just curious. It looks the new 840-bed hospital is an "addition" to the 21-story, 420-bed James Cancer Hospital that opened in 2012 - but is a "replacement" to the older 440-bed University Hospital contained in Doan and Rhodes Halls. According to Business First in https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2019/02/13/ohio-state-sees-development-opportunities-opening.html Quote The school will build an 840-bed replacement to the original University Hospital along with a west campus urgent care and outpatient clinic. The project also straightens and relocates Cannon Drive to the west, protecting the hospital campus from floods and creating 12 acres for development. The new hospital will have twice the capacity of the $1.1 billion, 420-bed, 21-story James Cancer Hospital that opened in 2012. The future center will replace the 440-bed Doan and Rhodes halls. If all goes to plan, the new hospital will open in 2025. The new corridor also will include a 1,870-space parking garage to replace two others that have a combined 1,100 spaces. And the school will demolish Starling-Loving Hall, the former inpatient building that’s been repurposed as office space.

June 24, 20195 yr https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2019/06/21/ohio-state-construction-watch-heres-when-cannon.html According to the above linked Business First article, the newly built section of Cannon Drive between 12th Avenue and John Herrick Drive was scheduled to open Friday night. This $52 million first phase of the project is largely complete, except for the final landscaping work which will continue throughout 2019. The total two-phase project straightens Cannon Drive, moves it closer to the Olentangy River and raises it 8 feet - shielding the medical center from a 100- and 500-year flood risk. The second phase will extend Annie and John Glenn Drive to Cannon Drive, create flood protection walls and demolish the Drake Union building (relocating it to the developing arts district near High Street). That phase will last into 2022 and will cost $120 million. Cannon Drive runs along OSU's hospital district, where the school will build an 840-bed replacement for the original University Hospital. This new hospital will have twice the capacity of the $1.1 billion, 420-bed, 21-story James Cancer Hospital that opened in 2012. This future hospital will replace the 440-bed Doan and Rhodes halls. As currently scheduled, the new hospital would open in 2025. The OSU Medical Center also plans a 1,870-space parking garage to replace two others that have a combined 1,100 spaces and would also demolish Starling-Loving Hall, a former inpatient building that’s been repurposed as office space.

Disappointed about demolishing Starling-Loving Hall. It's a beautiful historic building, but I understand the pressures from the medical center for modern spaces. Seemingly it could be avoided if done in tandem with whatever will replace the Doan and Rhodes halls... But I guess the timeline isn't working out that way.
June 25, 20195 yr "This new hospital will have twice the capacity of the $1.1 billion, 420-bed, 21-story James Cancer Hospital that opened in 2012." ummmmmm yes!! ? I wonder how many stories this thing could reach

I wonder how many stories this thing could reach 42-stories?! ? Seriously though, just because it will have twice the capacity (which I'm assuming means twice the beds) doesn't automatically mean it will be twice the size. I'm not familiar with what all is in the James, but in theory half of the existing building could be office space that won't need to be replicated in the new building. Regardless, it's going to be a very large building.
June 25, 20195 yr Isn't it going to be the same height as the existing tower (and look pretty similar architecturally)? At least that's what the rendering in this article from February suggests: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2019/02/13/ohio-state-sees-development-opportunities-opening.html
June 25, 20195 yr ^ It could be, although that rendering is purely conceptual and was not done by the architect that will be designing the new building because they haven't even selected one yet.
