The Hughes Hall Renovation project will modernize and revitalize Hughes Hall, a 60,613 GSF academic building located at 1899 College Road on The Ohio State University’s Columbus campus, prominently situated immediately north of the Oval.

The project will address significant deferred maintenance needs throughout the building, including comprehensive upgrades to the building envelope, such as the roof, windows, and masonry systems, to improve long-term durability, performance, and sustainability. In addition, the existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems are to be upgraded or replaced to enhance reliability, occupant comfort, and operational efficiency. Hazardous materials abatement throughout the facility is also anticipated as part of the renovation scope, enabling the transformation of Hughes Hall into a modern, accessible, and high-performing academic building that supports the evolving needs of students, faculty, and staff. Professional design services are being acquired by the Contracting Authority under a separate contract. The Program of Requirements (“POR”) will be validated as a part of this project by the Architect/Engineer (“A/E”) based on data provided by FDC. All aspects of the project and related issues will be implemented and operated consistent with the Contracting Authority/Owner’s policies and procedures.
Scope of Services: The project and construction budget as listed in this RFQ is estimated. The project has been approved for design and preconstruction services only.
