DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Ohio is seeking a vendor to provide gateway welcome design services for a major building project. This initiative will integrate visual culture, performance, and technology, requiring a carefully choreographed experience that guides visitors from arrival in an underground parking structure, through the lobby, and into key spaces where students work alongside the art collection.

The project encompasses significant design challenges and opportunities, demanding expertise in multiple disciplines including structural engineering, traffic consulting, mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) engineering, fire protection engineering, and surveying. The aim is to deliver a seamless and engaging visitor journey while addressing rigorous functional and aesthetic requirements.
