ACCAD’s mission is to foster, support, inform and inspire innovative thinking and experimentation in the arts and technology for graduate students, faculty and research staff.

Aquatic Ecology Lab

The Ohio State University Aquatic Ecology Laboratory (AEL) is home to faculty and student researchers whose field work takes place on Lake Erie and in rivers, streams, hatchery ponds and large reservoirs around Ohio. In their Kinnear Road facility, extensive resources support the analysis of their field research.

Biological Sciences Building

Built to facilitate modern biological research, it housed the then-recently-formed College of Biological Sciences and three of its departments: Biochemistry (now part of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry), Microbiology, and Molecular Genetics; until the re-unification of the College of Arts and Sciences in 2010.

Biological Sciences Greenhouses

The BioSci Greenhouse serves research and teaching needs of ASC researchers working in population ecology; systematics and evolutionary biology; anatomy and developmental biology; genetics and biotechnology; physiology and toxicology; molecular biology; and integrated pest management and biological control.

Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Brain Imaging (CCBBI)

Established in 2011, CCBBI is one of only a handful of neuroimaging facilities in the country attached to an academic institution and dedicated to the study of brain mechanisms of individuals' cognitive capacity and subjective well-being, as well as dysfunctions of these brain mechanisms in normal aging and mental disorders.

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry Building (CBEC)

A unique structure of two buildings connected by bridges, a six-story office tower and four-story research and teaching wing, optimizes leading-edge work in energy, technology and medicine, and expands exceptional learning opportunities for students.

Derby Hall

Derby Hall is located on the North Oval, between Bricker and Hopkins Halls and is home to The Center for Urban and Regional Analysis (CURA), Department of Geography, Department of Political Science, and School of Communication.

Hagerty Hall

The main floor of Hagerty Hall is where you’ll find the World Media and Culture Center, a series of spaces dedicated to global media and training in cutting edge technologies.

Hayes Hall

Situated on the university’s Oval, Hayes Hall was built in 1893 and is the oldest existing building on campus.
