PJ Dick served as the general trades contractor for this $56.8 million,
588,000 sf, multipurpose arena on the campus of Ohio State University.
The facility is a state-of-the-art complex constructed of a concrete
and steel frame with a masonry exterior. The facility accommodates
basketball, hockey and other entertainment venues such as concerts,
family shows and touring productions.
Dramatic epoxy terrazzo floors depict portraits of OSU sports legends
and were a major factor in the building receiving the “Grand Award” in
the 1999 Ohio Golden Trowel Awards presented by the International
Masonry Institute. The floors are made up of a combination of stone
of various colors set in different pathways and channels to form a
floorscape. The exquisite and sprawling donors club level hosts 52
luxury suites encircling the entire arena are adorned with beautiful wood
panels and plush furniture. The facility also houses a sports hall of
fame, a two-floor auxiliary gym, locker rooms and dressing rooms for
performing entertainers.
PJ Dick self performed the masonry work on the project. Over 1
million units of masonry were installed using Fraco jump scaffolding.
The custom-built scaffolding had to conform to difficult configurations
particularly at the rotunda and east entry areas. Other self-perform
items of work included sitework, miscellaneous metals, structural steel
for gymnasium, curtainwall, metal panels, concrete, drywall, and doors/
frames/hardware.
