The Ohio Union is the heart of student life, featuring support for more than 1,200 student organizations, an instructional kitchen, the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom, meeting rooms and event spaces, Sloopy’s Diner and other eating options, a retail shop, and places to study and relax. Also located at the Ohio Union: Undergraduate Admissions Visits and Events, Student Life Multicultural Center, satellite office for the alumni association and Student Life Off-Campus and Commuter Student Services.

Hale Hall welcomes all students and guests as home to the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. This recently renovated facility is also home to one of the finest Black Cultural Centers in the country, an exceptional art gallery, and several student support centers and student retention offices.

Orton Hall was named for Ohio State’s first president, Edward Orton, and was built in 1893 using 40 types of Ohio building stone. Orton houses the bell tower chimes—14 bells weighing more than 25,000 pounds—that ring at the top of every hour and each quarter hour. Stop by the Geology Library and the Orton Geological Museum (and gift shop) to check out minerals, fossils, crystals and more.

Mendenhall Laboratory first opened in 1905 and is the current home of the Department of Geological Sciences. Check out the “fossil-like” design of the floor in the main lobby. This building also houses the Writing Center, where the university community gets help with research papers, lab reports, dissertations and resumes.

Hagerty Hall, home of the World Media and Culture Center, houses several academic departments, foreign language laboratories and an international media library.

Page Hall opened in 1902 and is recognized by its classic architectural elements, including grand Ionic columns. These architectural elements were preserved when it was renovated to house the John Glenn College of Public Affairs. Check out the John Glenn Museum in the lower level—there’s even a piece of the moon!

The Wexner Center for the Arts is an internationally renowned research lab and center for contemporary art, film, dance and other performances. As members of the center, Ohio State students are entitled to discount tickets and other benefits. Admission to the galleries is $8 (free for those under 18). While you’re there, stop by the Wexner Center shop or grab a bite at Heirloom.

The Oval, the open grassy area stretching from Thompson Library to College Road, has symbolized Ohio State to students and visitors for generations. At the heart of campus, the Oval is a favorite place for reading, relaxing and meeting friends. Legend has it that if you take the “Long Walk” from the seal at the east end to the William Oxley Thompson statue on the west end while holding hands with your loved one, you’ll be together forever.

Hopkins Hall is home to fine art, industrial design and art education classes. Visit the Hopkins Hall Gallery to view exhibits by faculty, students and visiting artists. Open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (4 p.m. summer).

Bricker Hall houses the Office of the President and other administrative offices. The Bricker Hall Exhibit Area (on the first and second floors) regularly features university collections, artifacts and the work of university artists.

The 18th Avenue Library, one of Ohio State’s 17 libraries, is open 24/7 and houses one of the 20 computer labs on campus.

Scott Laboratory, one of the newest buildings on campus, is actually three buildings joined by an elevated walkway. Home to the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, Scott Lab houses several computer labs, an electronics lab and a machine shop for class projects.

A Self-Guided Walking Tourof the central Columbus campus

Ohio State boasts some of the nation’s finest facilities for students, and we encourage you to explore them. Join the many students, faculty and staff who crisscross campus every day, and feel free to enter any building that interests you. Please don’t enter classrooms if a class is in session, however. You can complete this tour in about an hour and a half. Enjoy your visit!

University Hall is a replica of Ohio State’s first building, which was built in 1873. The tower clock, entrance and pillars are from the original building. The new structure, which opened in 1976, houses the Graduate School and other academic departments.

The William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, Ohio State’s main library, hosts thousands of students daily. After a three-year renovation, the library is now home to 1.25 million volumes of books, 230 computers, 1,800 study seats and the Berry Cafe. Be sure to check out the Campus Reading Room on the 11th floor to see spectacular views of campus and downtown Columbus.

Ohio Stadium, completed in 1922, was the first horseshoe-shaped, doubledeck stadium in the United States. Nicknamed “The ’Shoe,” the stadium was renovated in 2001 and now holds approximately 105,000 wildly cheering Buckeyes.

The Recreation and Physical Activity Center (RPAC) is a state-of-the-art recreation center and one of six recreational facilities on campus. Staying

fit is easy with 12 multi-purpose courts for basketball, volleyball and more, 10 racquetball courts, an indoor running track, and lots more. Students also get a splash out of the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion, taking advantage of the pools, diving well, 25-person hot tub and saunas. You can get a visitors pass to tour the facility at the RPAC Welcome Desk.

Mirror Lake AREA CLOSED FOR RESTORATION UNTIL EARLY 2018 Originally fed by a natural spring, Mirror Lake figured prominently in the site selection for the university in 1870. Mirror Lake Hollow includes Browning Amphitheatre, Bucket and Dipper Rock, the Faculty Club and Pomerene Hall—all great campus landmarks.

The Kuhn Honors and Scholars House, former home of university presidents, is now home to the University Honors and Ohio State Scholars programs. If you look closely, you might notice that the back of the building faces the street. The building was originally slated for the other side of 12th Avenue, but when the university decided to cross over to the current plot, the architect neglected to turn the plan around!
