Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio State University College of Medicine is requesting design services to complete a study to evaluate options for a

proposed alternative workspace concept. The project will be located at Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute (DHLRI)

at 473 W 12th Ave. Columbus, OH 43210. The project will utilize approximately 9,000 sqft of the 2nd floor of DHLRI.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate alternative office space solutions aimed at optimizing utilization and operational

efficiency. The envisioned space will serve as a shared office environment, designed to offer preferred accommodations

that appeal to medical professionals and encourage their engagement. The study will include an assessment of spatial

concepts, operational implications, and associated costs to support informed decision-making.

Pending evaluation of the study, available funding, and approval from the College of Medicine, the University may elect to

extend this contract into full design services.

Should this project extend to full design services, this project will be required to be designed and delivered within a

collaborative BIM-enabled environment following The Ohio State University BIM Project Delivery Standards. The Primary

firm submitting for the project will be required to have the BIM expertise capable of meeting the aforementioned

standards. The Ohio State University BIM Project Delivery Standards can be accessed via the OSU FOD website: BIM

Project Delivery Standards.
