Agency Overview

Who We Are:

The Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) oversees capital projects undertaken by state agencies and state-supported institutions of higher education; manages Ohio's school facility programs, which support the construction and renovation of public K-12 schools; and administers funding for community-based cultural and sports facilities projects.

The Commission sets uniform rules, procedures, and standardized documents for state construction under Chapter 153.

The legislature established the Commission in 2012 with the merger of the Ohio School Facilities Commission (OSFC) and the former Office of State Architect.In 2013, the Commission undertook oversight of the cultural facilities grants program. In 2017, the legislature further folded all OSFC duties and responsibilities into the Commission, thereby consolidating guidance and oversight of its various programs into a single entity.

• Support agency BIM Coordinators with technical guidance on CDE usage, model review procedures, and CMMS data handover workflows (360 Facility, Nuvolo, TELs, OnTrack).
• Coordinate cross-agency data sharing, standardization, and portfolio analytics initiatives.
