Ohio Union

Ohio Union is a three-story building in postmodern style located on Ohio State University's campus in Columbus. It contains dining areas, meeting rooms, organizational offices, and a large ballroom designed to accommodate campus events and gatherings.

The original Ohio Union opened in 1910 as the first student union at any public university in the country. The current structure was completed in 2010 following decades of renovations and expansions that reflected changing campus needs.

The building serves as the social hub where students from different fields gather for concerts, lectures, and club meetings throughout the year. These regular events shape campus life and bring the university community together.

The building is easy to navigate with clearly organized spaces for different activities and services. Plan to visit during daytime hours when most facilities are active and student activities are happening throughout the building.

The building was designed with direct student input on design choices, a rare opportunity for student participation in architectural planning. It earned LEED Silver Certification for sustainable features including energy-efficient systems built throughout its structure.
