Project

The Alber Student Center was built in 1986 and is the campus crossroads for The Ohio State University at Marion and Marion Technical College student life. The facility functions as the primary location for students to socialize, recreate and engage in wellness activity. OSU teamed with The Collaborative with the goal of attracting and engaging current and potential students by creating a welcoming environment with natural light and student-centric spaces.

The renovation includes approximately 17,000sf of reorganization of office, wellness, fitness, student organization gathering, activity spaces and new food service with interior and exterior dining space. Planning includes locations for primary and secondary building additions with exterior connectivity.
