Careful planning and attention to detail were key factors in the work performed by Lang Masonry & Restoration Contractors at the newly renovated Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center at The Ohio State University.
The project took three years to complete and was performed in three separate phases. Most of the work involved the addition of new masonry and limestone, which was incorporated to blend with the 100-year-old building. Earlier phases of construction completed in the forum posed a unique set of challenges in the workspace. To gain access to the penthouse, the crew engineered a plan to set hydro-mobile scaffolding around other trades, while allowing entry through two skylights in the roof. Meticulous planning and ingenuity went into the massive arch that leads into the forum. Nearly one million tons of limestone and precast stone were prefabricated offsite. Four brick patterns consisting of running bond, vertical running bond, common bond and English bond can be seen throughout the project.
This is the third crew award for Lang Masonry & Restoration Contractors. The craftsmen will receive their award at the 132nd BX Annual Meeting in November.
