During the May Board of Trustees meeting, Amanda Hoffsis, Ohio State’s vice president of Planning, Architecture and Real Estate (PARE), presented the draft Framework 3.0 plan, which outlined an ambitious future vision for The Ohio State University’s physical environment that supports teaching, research and patient care.
“The way students and faculty utilize space is different now and we must evolve to best meet their needs,” Hoffsis said. “Gone are the days where desks and chairs face a blackboard in single-file lines. We must create collaborative connections and support modular spaces armed with state-of-the-art technology that allow for smaller group learning or breakout spaces.”
