Summary
Ohio State on Tuesday launched construction of the Timashev Technology Tower, an 8-story, 103,000-square-foot addition to its Innovation District aimed at turning campus research into companies and jobs.
The tower will house the Center for Software Innovation and give BuildX-linked startups flexible co-working space, offices and closer access to students, researchers and larger corporate partners.
Ratmir and Angela Timashev funded the project through their family foundation, with Ohio State, the state, the city and JobsOhio framing it as a long-term bet on central Ohio's technology and life-sciences economy.
The site adds to an Innovation District that already includes groups such as Koloma, Ohio Life Sciences and Pelotonia, and comes as Ohio State expands AI ties with Google Cloud and Google DeepMind.
