As highlighted by The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Hamilton Hall is making history by serving as the home of the new Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center (IHSC). A ribbon cutting was held in the forum to celebrate the opening of the IHSC. More celebrations are planned for the fall and during the October Homecoming weekend.

Renovations are complete on the third and final phase of the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center. Hamilton Hall Phase III includes a 120,000-square-foot renovation and will open this summer. Anatomy Phase I opened in January 2022 and Classroom Phase II opened in June 2023.

As another outpatient care center gets approved for construction and new academic and research projects break ground, we kick off season 3 of the City of Ohio State Podcast with Kristin Poldemann, the associate vice president of Facilities Design and Construction to talk about current projects across campus. 

The Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center third and final phase is nearing completion as work concludes on the 120,000-square-foot renovation of Hamilton Hall.
