Moody Nolan is the Architect-of-Record working with Design Architect, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. The new Interdisciplinary Research Facility (IRF) will support the University’s biomedical, environmental sciences, veterinary medicine, life sciences and engineering programs.
Moody Nolan led the design for a new six-court indoor tennis practice and competition center with seating for 450 spectators for both the men’s and women’s teams at The Ohio State University.
Situated seven miles north of the university’s main campus, Don Scott Airport is home to
200 aircraft and sees and an estimated 75,000 flight operations per year. This $20 million project consists of new buildings, including an 11,400 sq. ft. Flight Education Center, a 26,000 sq. ft. Flight Education Hangar, as well an Airport and Administration Building & Field Operations Buildings at 17,550 SF which will replace these existing facilities. This project also includes five leasable hangars ranging in size from 10,000 sq. ft. – 16,800 sq. ft.
The Covelli Center maximizes efficiency and achieves the strategic goals of the University by consolidating multiple sports into one venue.
The challenge facing Moody Nolan and design architect Antoine Predock Architect was how to place a massive, 560,000 sq. ft. structure in the heart of an established campus without disrupting the pedestrian flow or overpowering the surroundings. Adding to this challenge was the client’s and architect’s desire to enhance the overall campus environment by providing both indoor and outdoor spaces that would further the sense of campus community.
