Ohio Open Doors: Architecture Tour

2016 is the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, and Ohio Open Doors is a statewide celebration of our state's historic buildings and landmarks.

We’re celebrating the occasion with free, docent-led tours of our unique building, exploring structures on and off the grid, its unusual angles, the history behind the iconic armory towers and more.

The Wexner Center's building was designed by architects Peter Eisenman of New York and the late Richard Trott of Columbus with landscape architect Laurie Olin of Philadelphia and constructed in 1989. The Wexner Center was the first major public building to be designed by Eisenman, previously known primarily as a teacher and theorist. He has gone on to design and build a number of other major projects including the Columbus Convention Center.
