The Ohio State University’s research and innovation enterprise is getting a major financial boost from Governor Mike DeWine and JobsOhio.
The Innovation District will receive a major share of a $100 million investment from JobsOhio, the state’s economic development group, into the central Ohio region, advancing the area’s health sciences and research space. Nationwide Children’s Hospital will also receive funding.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Feb. 17, state and university leaders said the funding will strengthen initiatives that are already underway and allow the university to forge new paths.
Signs of progress are visible on the construction site for The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Outpatient Care West Campus. Located within the Innovation District, south of the Kenny and Carmack roads intersection, the 385,000 square foot cancer-focused facility will include central Ohio’s first proton therapy treatment facility in partnership with Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
Construction began in July 2020 and below is a summary of current progress:
Crews placed rebar on the 640-space parking garage and columns are forming as the garage rises out of the ground, with three of the five floors now visible...

The new building will be located on the south side of Newton Hall, serving as the gateway to the university's health science campus.
Crews are clearing the site to create a stable foundation for upcoming construction. Contractors will soon begin installing underground stormwater structures and ultimately digging the pit for the basement. Inside spaces create room for students to study, mingle and enjoy the atmosphere of a modern, high-tech facility...
New renderings of the Controlled Environment Food Production Research Complex (CEFPRC) showcase the future home for interdisciplinary research connecting horticulture, engineering, entomology, pathology, food science, computer science, and human nutrition. The $35.8 million project is currently in the early stages of construction at the Waterman Agriculture and Natural Resources Laboratory.
January consisted of mobilization, site layout and staking. In February, the project team will begin rough grading the ground to ensure it is level, followed by the beginning of foundation work and the start of all associated underground utilities.
Progress continues on the Interdisciplinary Research Facility. Construction on the 305,000 square feet building began in the fall of 2020. It will serve multiple research disciplines, including biomedical, life sciences, engineering and environmental sciences, among others.
Crews are backfilling and compacting soil around the building foundation. Concrete pours continue including the installation of a loading dock.
View the photo slideshow above to track the project’s progress. The Interdisciplinary Research Facility is expected to be complete by the summer of 2023.
