Wellogy collaborated with The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine to design a new facility for diagnosing equine lameness. Previously, these diagnoses were conducted in a barn breezeway. The newly enclosed arena supports year-round use and offers an open-air observation area for clients. The Ralph Rogan Equine Performance Evaluation Arena is a part of OSU's Galbreath Equine Center and enhances equine care with advanced diagnostic capabilities. It features diverse surfaces, optimal lighting, and multi-function rooms, allowing for precise gait evaluations in realistic settings. The arena also provides an invaluable learning space for students and residents, allowing for the demonstration and practice of diagnostic and treatment techniques in a controlled environment, thereby enhancing the educational experience. The ability to observe horses in a variety of conditions, including under saddle, jumping, replicates the environments in which issues may arise. This comprehensive observation capability reduces the reliance on client-provided videos and enhances the reliability of the diagnosis. The arena includes a no-dust, specialized synthetic sand-like footing and a non-slip asphalt jogging strip that mimic competition conditions, providing a realistic and familiar setting for both horse and rider. This design facilitates a more precise assessment of the horse's movement. Educational facilities, including a learning conference room, provide hands-on training for students and residents. Funded by a generous donor, this state-of-the-art facility ensures that Midwest equine receive top-tier, compassionate care. It also honors the legacy of Ralph Rogan, a dedicated American Saddlebred Horse enthusiast.

The City of Cuyahoga Falls was focused on creating a more successful and vibrant central business district by opening up the downtown core that was closed off to traffic over 40 years ago. Osborn Engineering worked with the City to re-open Front Street to vehicular traffic and create an exciting new district. Osborn was selected as the Owner’s Rep for the project, providing criteria design to convert a pedestrian mall into a roadway. The project opened Front Street to one lane of traffic in each direction with on-street parking and included flexible design for street festivals. Osborn also provided structural engineering for an adjacent parking deck and prepared a design-build bid package, assisting in reviewing contractor bids and plans. To save costs, the existing storm sewer was reused, requiring reconfiguration of the water main to meet Ohio EPA standards and regrading the roadway for ADA compliance. Osborn designed curb inlets with FlexStorm filters to capture debris and pollutants and provided construction administration services. The project reshaped the city center, offering modern uses and an enhanced landscape for vehicles, pedestrians, and recreation.

We are happy to announce our new hires for the second quarter! Welcome to the Osborn / OSPORTS team!

The Cleveland Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers held their annual dinner event on June 20th, celebrating member achievements, sector office announcements, and hosting a keynote project presentation. We are excited to report that Kyle Shepherd was inaugurated as President of Cleveland Section of ASCE at the event! Another highlight from the meeting was Christopher Donlon's presentation on the Irishtown Bend Stabilization and Redevelopment project. Osborn led the design team for this $60 million initiative, which includes hillside slope stabilization and bulkhead installation at the historic Irishtown Bend in Cleveland, Ohio. Osborn's contributions encompass project management, stakeholder coordination, civil and stormwater engineering, structural peer review, and construction and risk management. This project was honored with our internal Kurt K. Rim Project Innovation and Excellence Award (KKR Award)! At the event, Jon-Michael Lemon, PE presented about Osborn's KKR award and provided an introduction for the ITB keynote project presentation. The KKR Award is presented annually to recognize individuals or teams who have excelled in innovation, design, and client satisfaction on a project. Osborn Engineering aims to lead in cutting-edge, forward-thinking design, and this award underscores our commitment to producing outstanding thought leaders.
