The University Boulevard Phase 2 project is underway, with installation of public roadway, new concrete curb and traffic signal upgrade. Completion of this project is expected in January 2023. Currently, the project is working on the re-alignment of Shier Rings Road between Eiterman Road and Avery Road, creating University Boulevard. Construction is also in process for a roundabout intersection at Eiterman Road and a new traffic signal installation at Avery Road/Shier Rings Road.

On November 4, 2019, City Council approved a rezoning of the an approximately 34-acre site from Research/Office District to allow the specialized needs of the proposed Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. The approval of the rezoning included a medical campus and a medical office building (±160,000 square feet) and an ambulatory care facility (±115,000 square feet) as well as all associated site improvements for this first phase.
Future phases of development are anticipated, with the scope and timing yet to be determined. Application materials are available on the City website at dublinohiousa.gov/pzc/19-055/.
