University Facility Tour: The Ohio State University


Details:


Come tour The Ohio State University’s Columbus Campus! Ohio State is a nationally ranked public university and is the fifth-largest university in the United States. It is a land-grant, sea-grant and space-grant university established by the Legislature in 1870 and has a current annual budget that exceeds $9b. The Columbus Campus encompasses approximately 1700 acres, supporting over 60,000 students and more than 53,000 employees. It includes The Wexner Medical Center, which has over 1,400 patient beds across seven hospitals, and numerous event venues, including Ohio Stadium, with just over 102,000 seats.

Ohio State is the first US university to monetize its parking assets through a long-term lease and Concession Agreement. On this tour, in addition to seeing the iconic buildings noted above, you will hear about how Ohio State and CampusParc work together to provide mobility services to the campus. We will visit the transportation facility that houses Ohio State’s department of Transportation and Traffic Management, which operates both fixed route and on-demand shuttle services, providing almost five million rides per year and manages and services a campus fleet consisting of 930 vehicles (of which 285 are powered by alternative fuels), as well as manages a robust shared mobility program with Ebikes and scooters.

CampusParc is the concessionaire and handles the parking side of the mobility equation, and partners with Propark Mobility to operate and maintain more than 38,000 parking spaces across campus. We will view several of the 17 parking garages on campus catering to patients, visitors, faculty, staff and students, and hear about how multiple departments work together to manage on average 186 events per month, with a total of 2,233 events in 2023.
