Woody Hayes Athletic Center
The $21.5 million 53,000-square-foot (4,900 m) expansion was financed by fund-raisers outside the athletic department budget. Heery International of Atlanta, Georgia, provided the architectural design, with emphasis on current technological, media, and innovative developments. The WHAC now totals more than 78,000 square feet (7,200 m) of facilities, offices, and meeting rooms.
The facility has a 17,000-square-foot (1,600 m) weight room with free weights and Nautilus equipment as well as a training room that is available for Ohio State sports teams.
Football facilities include coaches' offices with individual position meeting rooms, an auditorium for team meetings, meeting rooms for offense and defense units, and a substantial player lounge.
The northern corridor and atrium are adorned with Ohio State Buckeyes football history, including Big Ten and national championship team displays, Heisman Trophies and photos of All-Americans and Academic All-Americans, and is the only part of the facility open to the public.
