The Interdisciplinary Research Facility designed by Architects Moody Nolan, Inc. / Pelli Clarke Pelli envisions an innovative and modern environment to serve multiple disciplines. The project will house approximately 305,000 new square feet and will support the university's advances in multiple research disciplines, including biomedical, life sciences, engineering, and environmental sciences, among others. In addition, two floors will be dedicated to The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center including its new Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology.
The use of voided slabs provide a balance between stiffness while reducing the floor mass by as much as 35%.
