The Ohio State University is seeking a Construction Manager at Risk for the renovation of the Fisher Auditorium building on the CFAES Wooster Campus to create the Campus Commons. The project involves renovating approximately 18,000 square feet of space to include a library, learning lab, bookstore, offices, food service, dining, and lounge areas, while maintaining the original auditorium. A potential 3,000 square foot addition on the north side is being considered to improve campus circulation and accessibility. The project requires a collaborative BIM-enabled environment following university standards, including specific use cases for model authoring, clash prevention, and asset tagging. The procurement process is divided into two stages, beginning with a qualifications-based RFQ to establish a short list of at least three candidates, followed by a best-value RFP stage considering both qualifications and fees. The selected CM will initially provide preconstruction services, including constructability reviews, target value budgeting, and schedule development, with the possibility of a contract amendment for full construction and closeout services. Key requirements include participation in the EDGE program, use of the e-Builder project management system, and adherence to university sustainability and safety standards. Preconstruction services are slated to begin in March 2027, with substantial completion of all work targeted for April 2029.

Project number: OSU-200473
The Fisher Auditorium building is centrally located on the CFAES Wooster Campus. The building will be converted to “Campus Commons”, with the original Fisher Auditorium remaining within the building. The building’s renovation will play a critical role in the vision to create a “Heart of Campus, with goals to improve the sense of community, access to campus resources, and opportunities for collaboration. The building was constructed in 1968 and renovated in 2000. The existing Fisher Auditorium is used for numerous University, industry partner and community events. The Auditorium is not included in the proposed renovation. This project focuses on creating Fisher Commons in approximately 18,000 SF of space surrounding the Auditorium. Currently, this space includes exhibit space, library, offices, conference/classrooms, catering food service, general administration, and auxiliary services. It will be renovated to include a library, learning lab, bookstore, offices, food service, dining, and lounge spaces. The building has multiple entry points, and it is connected to the Shisler (Conference) Center via a corridor on the north elevation. To reorient the building’s main entrance toward the center of campus, improve accessibility, and enhance circulation, an approximately 3000SF addition is being considered to add to the north side of the building, connected to the corridor that leads to the Shisler Center. Site and accessibility improvements will occur at the new north entrance and the west portico. Professional design services will be completed by The Collaborative, Inc. and have been acquired by the Contracting Authority under a separate contract.
