Continuing our own coverage of the 2024 Olympics, we partnered with The Columbus Architectural Studio and Burns & McDonnell to design the OhioHealth Performance Center, the training facility for the Major League Soccer Columbus Crew team which includes goalkeeper Patrick Schulte, a member of the USA Men’s Soccer Team. This award-winning facility received the Facility of Merit by Athletic Business and the Mid-America Silver in Sports and Recreation by the International Interior Design Association. 🏅  The team itself is the 2023 MLS Cup Champion. Located next to Historic Crew Stadium, Columbus Crew's OhioHealth Performance Center supports the team’s athletic performance and recovery. The 42,000-square-foot center features natural grass fields, hydronic heating, a recovery room, and a full-service kitchen. The OhioHealth Performance Center is the central hub for the team’s operations, including First Team and Crew Academy players’ (ages 12-19) activities. Congrats to Patrick for making it on the 18-man roster for the USA Men’s Soccer Team in the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking the first time the American men made it to the Olympics since 2008. 📸: Cory Klein 📍Columbus, OH #MoodyNolanColumbus #SportsArchitecture #SportsAndRecreation #ColumbusCrew #OhioHealth #2024Olympics

Construction has begun on the $200 million renovation and expansion of Downtown Cincinnati’s Duke Energy Convention Center! Brian Sell, principal at Moody Nolan, and Kevin Gordon, principal at TVS Architecture and Interior Design, were recently interviewed by The Cincinnati Enquirer on the latest developments. “It has tremendous potential to be a gateway building to the city that engages with the street because right now it has solid walls,” said Sell. The project is set to be completed by 2026, with events temporarily relocating to the Sharonville Convention Center. This upgrade is anticipated to generate $48 million in new business for Cincinnati once conventions return to the area and the headquarters hotel is completed in 2027. The Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC) is leading the project team.

The Covelli Center and Jennings Family Wrestling Practice Facility at The Ohio State University isn't just any facility - it's a training ground for future champions, and in some cases, Olympians! The Covelli Center can be thought of as two buildings: one housing the arena and the other a state-of-the-art wrestling and training facility, which can be operated independently. Operationally, the arena can accommodate multiple flooring layouts including wrestling, volleyball, gymnastics, fencing, basketball, boxing and concert events by way of retractable seating on all four sides with flexible storage solutions. We join wrestling fans in cheering on OSU alum Kyle Snyder, who is the youngest American EVER to win Olympic gold in wrestling! To create more success stories like his, we collaborated with Populous for this $50-million multi-sport facility. To learn more about the project, visit: https://lnkd.in/eVU8T7Ga.

With the USA Men's Basketball team set to play today, let's revisit our role in designing for the Olympics.🏅 The Forbes Arena at Morehouse College was built for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, and later became the home of Morehouse basketball. Our firm had the honor of being on the design team for the $8 million, 6,000-seat facility, which became a landmark in the city's sports history. Forbes Arena stands three-levels tall with four locker rooms, a first-aid station, a training room, a weight room, four concessions stands, and elevator serviced. Transforming vision into reality, this project crafted a stage for basketball history and captured the energy and intensity of the game for generations.🏀🔥 #MoodyNolanAtlanta #MorehouseCollege #SportandRecreation #2024Olympics #HBCU #SportsArchitecture

As part of our very own Olympics coverage, we’re taking a look back at our projects where student athletes may have trained or will do so in the future. In collaboration with ROSSETTI and Granger Construction, our firm is designing Michigan State University’s new Student Recreation and Wellness Center. With a targeted opening date of Spring 2026, the facility will have several gymnasiums and multi-activity courts, a turf arena, an indoor running track, strength and fitness studios, classroom spaces, social spaces, and a natatorium. The facility will offer future Spartans a diverse range of options for physical activity, community belonging and an opportunity to even pursue Olympic goals. Good luck to the three former Spartans who dared to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics. 🏅 Read more about their journey in track and field, and basketball: https://lnkd.in/dZfycwaS #MoodyNolan #CampusWellness #HighPerformanceDesign #MichiganState #SportsandRecreation #SportsArchitecture #2024Olympics

Project team members from our Nashville studio were at the grand opening of Strobel House, a $35-million vital addition to Nashville’s efforts in providing shelter and support to the most vulnerable homeless population. Located on Nashville’s East Bank, Strobel House is a 5-story, 60,000 square feet structure offering 90 units, each a compact yet comfortable 350 square feet, designed to provide a permanent pathway to housing for the residents, many of whom have faced mental health challenges, physical disabilities, and addiction issues. Moody Nolan’s Beryl Adler noted in a story with the Tennessean, “We were very conscious of the design and how that affected the mental and emotional state of the people coming in,” Alder said. The interiors feature an earth-tone color palette to promote a calm environment, reducing anxiety and fostering well-being. Our firm led the planning and design for this new permanent-supportive housing facility, alongside BELL Construction . Congrats to Nashville’s Office of Homeless Services and Metro Nashville Government on their vision to reduce homelessness while restoring hope and dignity to the unhoused. We are thankful for the partnership, and it was an honor to bring this vision to life.         Learn more about Strobel House: https://lnkd.in/dQN_fkYd #MoodyNolanNashville #StrobelHouse #PurposeDrivenHousing #AffordableHousing #ImprovingLivesThroughDesign
