Campbell Hall
The Ohio State University
Columbus, Ohio
Schooley Caldwell and EVOKE Studio Architecture designed the new home for Ohio State’s College of Education and Human Ecology (EHE), located in Campbell Hall, a historic, three-story building on main campus.
The renovation introduced new teaching and research kitchens, new and upgraded classrooms, modernized offices, and new state-of-the-art research wet labs. The heart of the building is a double-height community space for both informal gatherings and formal events, and has full A/V presentation capabilities. Other key project elements included a relocated historic costume gallery, modernized high-density collections storage, conservation lab, and associated support space.
In addition to modernizing the interior, the renovation addressed critical building maintenance needs and improved overall performance. Upgrades include new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and data systems; new curtainwall systems; and added insulation to meet current energy codes.
