Goals/Objectives

Hearing the first notes of Carmen Ohio summons images of Ohio Stadium, the Oval, the Library, and Mirror Lake.  The new Ohio Union will be such a place -- an icon that captures the richness and diversity of Ohio State. 

The Ohio Union creates an exciting and significant out-of-the-classroom experience; an experience that compliments the academic mission of the University.  The Union is more than a building; it is the living room of the University.  It is a place where students come to hone their leadership skills, participate in community service, build community, and for many, the Ohio Union is a second home.

Seeking to advance our national standing in higher education, Ohio State has developed remarkable facilities across campus to match our aspirations. The new Ohio Union is vital to recruiting the finest students as the Union hosts an admissions or orientation event one out of every three days.  The new Ohio Union is a critical component in becoming one of the finest land-grant universities in the country, and will be the new standard by which all other student unions are measured.
