OSU Biomedical Research Tower
Columbus, Ohio

Ohio State University’s new 14- story 400,000 square foot Biomedical Research Tower is now the largest research facility on the OSU campus. The exterior of the building, which was completed early this year, features thin brick faced panels and panels with a sandblast finish. A unique feature on both types of panels is an inlaid band of metal that is installed into a 1-5/8" deep recess in the face of the precast panels. The 6-1/2" thick by 31’-0" long panels were erected onto the building before the metal infill panels were installed. A red mortar color was used in the brick area to create a monolithic look.

Ohio State University has used extensive amounts of both structural and architectural precast concrete over the past twenty years. The University demands and monitors very closely their construction schedules. Precast concrete greatly facilitates on time performance.
