Ohio Union - The New Union

The New Union

The new Ohio Union, which was completed in 2010 now serves as the student body of Ohio State's center for dining, recreations, meetings and events. Students at Ohio State played a vital role in the making of the new Union, such as picking out the color schemes, what furniture to use and even helped the architects with the design of the building. The Ohio State University partnered up with Habitat for Humanity during the destruction of the old Union and donated all the useful parts of the building when it was torn down to Habitat for Humanity to sell at their 'Build it Again' center. All together the parts were worth $40,000. Today the Ohio Union is home to 4 dining areas, Sloopy's, Woody's Tavern, Union Market and Express O-H. There is also a gift shoppe located in the Union called Station 88. Many events go on at the Union as well as student organization meetings.
