The Ohio State University Board of Trustees approved construction, and the remainder of funding for professional services, for its Wexner Medical Center Outpatient Care Dublin and added partial approval for the Wexner Medical Center Outpatient Care West Campus.
According to This Week News, Dublin City Council is expected to vote on Monday, Nov. 4, for a rezoning ordinance for the construction of an Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center medical campus.
The ordinance would change about 34 acres from a research/office district zoning designation to planned-unit-development district.
Columbus Business First reports that Ohio State has approved a $2.37 billion 5-year capital plan to support Framework 2.0 and the university's strategic plan. It is an historic number for Ohio State as the university delivers on major projects identified in the campus master plan.
As reported by the outlet, classroom and laboratory buildings make up 47% of the new projects, and 39% are for OSU Wexner Medical Center.
“That’s really a healthy balance,” said Jay Kasey, Ohio State's senior vice president in the Office of Administration and Planning.
As reported by This Week News, the Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday, Aug. 22, is scheduled to review a concept plan for the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to open an outpatient facility in the city.
The Wexner Medical Center has proposed the development on 34 acres owned by Dublin near state Route 161, U.S. Route 33 and Shier-Rings Road.
The Ohio State University looks to advance three Wexner Medical Center ambulatory sites during upcoming Board of Trustees meetings.
