The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board (CSRAB) will begin the Ohio Statehouse parking garage repair project Monday, May 13, 2019. The garage renovations have an estimated completion date of late summer 2020.

The Ohio Statehouse Garage is a three level parking structure that was built in 1964. The last restoration project was completed in 1993 during the Statehouse renovations. The parking garage is U-shaped with nine stair towers and four elevators located throughout.

The garage services both daily and monthly parking customers, accommodating approximately 1,200 vehicles daily.

Work on Phase 1 is slated to begin in May. During the repairs, the garage will remain in service, however at a reduced capacity. Approximately 25% or 300 spaces will be under construction throughout the entire project.

During construction, traffic flow will be maintained, and access to each level will be provided. The first phase of the project will include structural repairs, mechanical and electrical systems upgrades, along with the addition of a new waterproofing membrane. The entrances to the Rhodes Tower, Broad Street and High Street Elevators and Stairwells will be unavailable beginning Monday, May 13, 2019.

This is a tentative schedule--many variables can impact the timing of a construction project—this schedule may change.
