Hodges Hall originally opened as Founder’s Hall. It was the oldest and largest building on the campus and was renamed in acknowledgement to the continuing support of Louella Hodges Reese prior to the ribbon cutting ceremony. The co-occupied space was transformed to meet the growing student enrollment numbers and expansion of academic offerings provided by both The Ohio State University and Central Ohio Technical College. The restoration included a new floor plan to facilitate teaching, learning and engagement, an update to the mechanical and electrical systems a refreshed exterior gathering space and landscaping improvements.
