The Ohio Stadium is set to receive waterproofing and con-crete repairs this summer, a project that has increased in costby $500,000 since its approval by the Board of Trustees in2012.Repairs are set to include removing and replacing the

existing waterproofing membrane, expansion joint seals andsealants — which are in place to relieve stress on buildingmaterials caused by factors like temperature changes andwind — and repairing some concrete in the stadium.

The project has two parts, athletics spokesman DanWallenberg said in an email, and an issue was discoveredduring the first part.“During phase one, after removing the existing water-

proofing membrane, it was learned that additional workwould be required to level the surface of the concrete toensure the performance and guarantee of the new mem-brane,” Wallenberg said.The additional cost of that work brought the new total of

the project to $4.8 million from $4.3 million, slated to comefrom athletics department reserves, Wallenberg said.A construction project on the stadium during spring

semester last year moved the 2013 OSU football springGame to Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. That project,which cost $4.3 million, was a routine maintenance projectthat occurs every 10 to 15 years, involving recoating the con-crete in order to waterproof it and repairing the wear and tearon the concrete and construction joints.Michael Denney, a third-year in chemical engineering,

said despite his initial reaction to the cost increase, he thinksthe price tag is worth it.“When I initially saw that the re-evaluation elevated the

cost [of] the stadium repairs $500,000 I was shocked,” hesaid. “But the more I thought about it, the less stressed I wasabout it. Actually I’m glad that in their re-evaluation of thestadium that they caught that they would need to make addi-tional repairs. The ‘Shoe has been here forever it seems andwe are obligated as a university and student body to take careof it.”Denney also said it’s “imperative” that the infrastructure is

maintained and sound in order to accommodate game atten-dees.The current project isn’t the only one in the works at the

stadium.New seating and lighting also are expected to be complet-

ed in time for the start of the 2014 football season.That project is set to cost the Department of Athletics $8.9

million, Wallenberg said.Construction is expected to be completed by August,

Wallenberg said, in time for the first home football gameSept. 6 against Virginia Tech.Nearly 2,500 student seats are slated to be moved from the

north end zone C-deck to the south stands. The project’scompletion is set to result in 18,900 total student seats in thesouth stands and 9,400 at the north end. Permanent lightinstallations on top of the stadium are also to be added.Jake Bradley, director of football operations for Block

“O,” said he’s excited for the stadium seat-expansion projectand to see the changes it will bring the stadium.“This project will enhance the student experience at foot-

ball games by uniting more students in the south stands and

creating an even better atmosphere for college football,” saidBradley, a fourth-year in public affairs and geography.Denney said he understands some could be miffed by

more construction, but he thinks it is worth it.“Since my freshman year, there has been nothing but con-

struction on campus, what’s a little more going to hurt?”Denney said. “It just shows that we are constantly improvingour facilities.”(Reprinted with permission from The Lantern, Ohio State

Having recently overseen theconstruction of the student centersat Ohio State University ($90 mil-lion, 2010) and the Athens Campusof Ohio University ($60 million,2008), the Smoot ConstructionCompany has moved on to the $32million Student Center at CentralState University (CSU) inWilberforce, Ohio.The Ohio Facilities

Construction Commission, in May2013, announced that Smoot hasbeen selected to serve as construc-tion manager at risk and be respon-sible for the overall preconstruc-tion and construction stage servic-es. The university is looking toachieve a LEED Silver(Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design) certifica-tion for the building.The center is expected to be

completed in July 2015. With anexpanding enrollment, the newcenter adds another building to agrowing cluster of buildings thatform a major complex that is cen-tral to the university’s atmosphere.The center will have two upper

floors and a lower level, covers88,000 sq. ft. (8,175 sq m) and isirregular in shape with variousangles on either side to give it dis-tinctive architectural features. Keyaspects of the center include atower entry area, skylight, andlarge curtainwall system.The structure’s exterior will be

clad in a combination of red andlight brown brick, anodized metalpanels and curtain wall. The major-ity of the roof is covered by TPO,while the main concourse of thelobby is covered by glass panelsthat fill the public space with natu-ral light.Smoot will be bringing in many

subcontractors over the 1.5-yearconstruction timeline, which is cur-rently in the bidding process.The university has already

undertaken a comprehensive site

survey and geotechnical analysisand the site, adjacent to a parkinglot where vehicles and constructionmaterials can be placed, has beenfully prepared for the work to com-mence.It is expected that 17,000 cu.

yds. (12,997 cu m) of soil will beremoved during the excavation,which some will be reused. Whencomplete, it is anticipated thatapproximately 4,000 cu. yds.(3,058 cu m) of concrete, 36,000sq. ft. (3,344 sq m) of masonry,13,500 sq. ft. (1,254 sq m) of glaz-ing, and 1,000 tons (907 t) of steel,will have been delivered to the site.“Following the foundation work

and installation of the structuralsteel,” said Chrystal Stowe,Smoot’s director of communityinvolvement and business devel-opment, “we want to enclose thebuilding before the end of 2014 sothat we are minimizing any winterconditioning costs.”Smoot was involved with the

construction of several LEED proj-ects, including the IndianapolisInternational Airport, the first air-port in the United States to be builtfrom the ground up with LEEDcertification as a goal (Silver certi-fied, part of a joint-venture) and asthe general contractor for theWright State University’s MatthewO. Diggs III Laboratory for LifeScience, which was completed in2007 and was the first researchfacility in Ohio to achieve LEEDNC-Gold certification.“These projects all seem to have

their own personalities as it relates

to LEED,” said Stowe, who notedthat the firm has 21 LEED accred-ited professionals on staff, “andthere isn’t one thread that weavesthrough all of them. We’ve justdesignated a member of our teamto be responsible for coordinatingthe LEED efforts. Most of theLEED points for this project willcome from efficiencies associatedwith the systems that will go intothe building.”These systems include HVAC,

electrical, lighting, and plumbing.To qualify for the LEED silver theLEED process involves a lot oftracking of materials deliveries,recycle counts and paperwork sub-mission by the A/E. SmootConstruction will be working inconjunction with the A/E toachieve this. The mechanical systems and

their control centers will be housedmainly in the basement level.It is anticipated that between 75

to 100 construction workers andsubcontractors will be on site.Smoot is still determining whetherit will be self-performing anywork.Samone Melson has been

named as the project manager andhe will have a superintendent tohelp him supervise the project andcoordinate with the superintend-ents of the subcontractors for theiractivities.“From Smoot Construction’s

past experience on past projectssimilar to this,” he said, “we knowthat coordination of the food serv-ice venues is a huge issue in order

to allow early training of the end-users so that they can perform theirduties immediately after opening.“Also this project sits next to the

Tawawa Woods and a gorge whichis a Nationally Preserved area andwe have taken measures to makesure that the area remains unaffect-ed while maintaining access for theconstruction process, and equip-ment to access the structure,” headded. “This project has a vastamount of terrazzo flooring, whichis an item that really takes goodpreplanning and coordination forinstallation in order not to inhibitthe progress of all of the othertrades.”Should Smoot be doing some

work on the project, its vehiclesand equipment will be dispatchedfrom its yard in Columbus, whichis an hour away from the universi-ty. Should mechanics be needed,Bill Mellott, Smoot’s generalsuperintendent, will be sendinghelp and spare parts.All of Smoot equipment is

maintained and inspected on adaily basis and as such, logs arekept of each item, which is alsorequired by Smoot Construction’ssafety program. Should Smoot equipment be

brought in, it should be an assortedfleet of Lull forklifts, John Deerebackhoes and dump trucks,Hydromobile work platforms, andpossibly a 65 ton (59 t) Grovecrane.The work site is large enough

for crews to operate freely and asmentioned, a parking lot is avail-

able for parking and temporaryoffices. Construction materials willbe delivered on an “as needed”basis.“We always prefer ‘on-time’

delivery of materials for an extend-ed period of time on such jobsites,” said Stowe, who added thatthe concrete to be used on the proj-ect will be pored in. “Key factors in the decision to

contract with Smoot, included astrong local presence, an excellentworking relationship with thebuilding trades, experience in com-pleting large scale, fast-track proj-ects and an understanding of uni-versities customer experience,including critical componentsrelated to quality and branding,”CSU President Dr. CynthiaJackson-Hammond told the media.Back in 1998 Smoot handled the

dormitory renovation at the univer-sity. The company has beeninvolved in many university proj-ects in the mid-Atlantic and mid-west areas and fully understandsthe need for forming solid relation-ships with university facilitiesdirectors and users of the build-ings.“It’s important that the building

we leave them with not only per-forms as it was designed from anoperations standpoint,” saidStowe, “but also in terms of theway that it functions for those whowill occupy the building after it iscompleted. We’ve been very suc-cessful and in many instances, thishas led to repeat opportunities towork on numerous university cam-puses from academic and researchbuildings to sporting venues, largeparking facilities, dormitories andstudent centers.”In Ohio, the company has been

involved in projects at Ohio StateUniversity, Ohio University,Wright State University, ColumbusState Community College and theUniversity of Cincinnati.

Smoot Breaks Ground for Student Center in Wilberforce

In 2014, Lima Energy plans on completing financingbehind the local project and starting construction.There also are permits to obtain and engineering work for

the long-planned energy plant.“Whenever we get the financing done, that clock will

start,” said Dwight Lockwood, a senior adviser of USASynthetic Fuel, of which Lima Energy is a subsidiary.It’s a lot of work, to say the least, but definitely not some-

thing unattainable. Construction is expected to last 24 to 30months, then the facility can open for operation.The first phase of the project calls for 70 employees, all

new jobs, to operate. Those are full-time jobs with benefits.In October, Lima Energy submitted its air permit applica-

tion to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.While a couple years may seem like a long time, Lima

Energy actually is moving at a fairly fast pace now. It wasjust more than a year ago in October 2012 that the city ofLima handed over the former Lima Locomotive Works siteto Lima Energy.The city acquired the property in 1999. By last November,

officials held a groundbreaking at the 63-acre site.The Lima Energy plant will use what the company calls

ultra-clean BTU conversion gasification technology to con-vert solid hydrocarbons — such as renewable resources, bio-feeds, petroleum coke or coal — into synthetic crude andsynthetic gas.Lima Energy already has a buyer for its synthetic crude

lined up, neighbor Husky Energy’s Lima Refinery. The con-tract calls for the supply of 80 million barrels of syntheticcrude to Husky over 10 years.Lima Energy also may be able to buy feedstock and petro-

leum coke from Husky that could be delivered by rail car orconveyor belt. The company plans to sell a byproduct, car-bon dioxide, for enhanced oil recovery efforts in easternOhio. It would be shipped by a pipeline, which would requirepermits and construction.The company wants to store remaining carbon dioxide in

the ground near Lima.Kokosing was hired to build Lima Energy’s plant. The

company is known as a major highway construction firm butalso handles other large-scale construction operations.The Technology Innovation Center for the company will

be along South Main Street and will be home to the compa-ny’s administration facility, research and development labo-ratories, auditorium, conference center and clean technologyshowroom.Primary production of the Lima Energy Project, when

fully operational, has been designed to produce 8 millionbarrels of oil equivalent, 47 billion cu. ft. per year of syntheticnatural gas and 516 megawatts net of electrical power.
