Framework 3.0 is Ohio State’s next iteration of the campus master plan and updates two previous Columbus campus master planning documents, published in 2010 and 2017.
Planning priority focus areas include the academic core with enhanced classrooms and teaching labs, Carmenton, the university’s innovation district, and strengthening east-west connections along Woody Hayes Drive and Lane Avenue. The plan envisions expanded services and facilities for the Wexner Medical Center and health sciences and focuses on core campus areas in need of renovation or future construction that will support enhanced educational experiences and prepare the university to grow responsibly.
The plan was shaped by the Buckeye community through feedback from surveys, workshops and open houses and was approved by the Board of Trustees on August 17, 2023.
