Real estate firm selected to create master plan for Ohio State’s Carmenton innovation district

The Ohio State University announced today that the university-affiliated Science and Technology Campus Corporation (SciTech) will collaborate with global real estate company Tishman Speyer to develop a master plan for Carmenton, the university’s innovation district.  

As the current phase of construction at Carmenton continues, the university has signed a letter of intent with SciTech to work with Tishman Speyer and lead a visioning process and the creation of a master plan for the next phase of Carmenton. SciTech is a not-for-profit organization to promote research and development of the university’s west campus. Once fully realized, the master plan will lead to the next phase of future construction.

“The momentum at our innovation district has attracted one of the country’s top developers,” said Alex Fischer, university trustee and chair of the Master Planning and Facilities Committee. “Tishman Speyer has a well-earned, international reputation for inspirational and connected communities. We are so excited to see this plan unlock the full potential of this vibrant new district in partnership with the university, JobsOhio and the City of Columbus.”
