Ovalwood Hall at the Ohio State University’s Mansfield Campus will reopen for classes next year. An extensive renovation project, budgeted for $7.2 million, became more complicated and expensive when it was discovered that substantial asbestos abatement was needed. That work has been completed, at a cost of $170,000. The project manager praised workers for their efforts to accelerate the work where possible to ensure that the building reopens on time for classes in fall 2008. Ovalwood Hall, dedicated in October 1, 1966, has particular importance for the academic community because it was the very first building constructed on the Mansfield Campus.
