R&D Commercialization Incubator Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. The project included the construction of a 20,000 S.F. Research and Development Commercialization Incubator building and necessary site improvements including roadways, drainage, parking areas, sidewalks, landscaping, signage and lighting. PDG assisted the City of Lima in securing an Ohio Department of Development Jobs Ready Site funding grant for the completion of the site improvements. This included closely working with, and managing the requirements of several environmental regulatory agencies including the Ohio Historic Preservation Office and Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The incubator will graduate tenants that will stimulate economic development in Ohio, regionally and nationally through sustainable agile manufacturing (SAM) focused on mass production. The mission is to provide a facility in which collaborating partners can share and develop intellectual property in an open and protected working environment. The OEAMC will serve as a central organization for creating consortia that will identity common manufacturing problems and contribute intellectual capital through ONU to address the challenges associated with Sustainable Agile Manufacturing (SAM). The anticipated outcome of the Research & Development Commercialization Incubator is to create growth in existing companies, create new companies, the commercialization of new technologies and the creation of jobs in Lima and Allen County. Prior to the site selection for this project, PDG had assisted the City of Lima in securing an ODSA Jobs Ready Site grant. The project site was formerly a blighted neighborhood within the City of Lima that contained abandoned and condemned homes; the area is adjacent to multiple railroad lines and heavy industrial development. Clearing and improving the site included working closely with the Ohio Historic Preservation Office and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. PDG assisted the City in achieving ODSA JRS Certification.

To move from a one room office building to larger, more adequate accommodations the Trustees sought the experience of Poggemeyer Design Group. Through schematic design involving the Owner and PDG, plans for a new 3,400 square foot new administration building were developed. A new site was chosen for this facility and located on a state route which bisects the township and is easily accessible to all residents. This facility holds a large meeting room capable of seating a hearing, regular business meetings or special conferences. A caterer s kitchen adjacent to the meeting room provides the capability to expand the use of the meeting room for local residents. The administrative area is separated from the meeting room and provides offices for trustee, fiscal and zoning officers. A fire safe file room provides important archive space for records and plans. Middleton Township is a predominantly agricultural community and the building s façade fits well with the region. The facilities layout permits future growth of both the administrative area and the meeting room. which was important to the Trustees during the design of the building.

Location Toledo, Ohio Services Project Management Architecture Interior Design Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Engineering Project Funding Ohio Historic Tax Credits Size 390,000 SF; 30 stories Currently on hold pending negotiations with potential tenants Project Team Gregory N. Telecky, P.E., Client Representative Paul Z. Tecpanecatl, AICP, Historic Preservation Phillip A. Whaley, P.E., Structural Engineer TOWER ON THE MAUMEE-THE EYDE COMPANY PDG and Studio Architects were recently engaged by Eyde Company to restore Toledo s first skyscraper back to the downtown skyline. The Tower on the Maumee Urban Redevelopment Project sits on the edge of Toledo s fledgling entertainment and is a critical piece in the complexion of downtown Toledo and its continued transformation. Currently the site is dominated by the vacant 30-story skyscraper that once was the corporate headquarters for Owens Corning. In 1996 they vacated the building and moved down the street to a horizontal facility. The Tower and its 513 space parking facility were purchased by Eyde Company, a Real Estate Developer based in East Lansing, Michigan. The renovation will turn the vacant structure into a mixed-use facility containing a hotel, office space, and residential apartment units. The 390,000 square foot building has undergone a full asbestos abatement. The Tower on the Maumee was constructed as the Fiberglass Tower in the late 1960 s, designed by New York architects Harrison and Abramovitz on the site of Riverview. The building is exceptionally significant as an International Style office tower and remains the most significant Modernist architectural landmark in the city. The building has been nominated to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. PDG is assisting the Eyde Company with Ohio Historic Tax Credits.
