Skanska Breaks Ground on Mass Timber Building in Cincinnati

Skanska and Cincinnati Public Radio broke ground on the Cincinnati Public Radio Headquarters in Ohio. Once complete, the new HQ will be the first two-story mass timber building in the Midwest and the first of its kind in Cincinnati.

The $32-million, 35,000-square-foot building will feature two on-air studios, two interview studios, one performance studio, 11,000 square feet of office space and a public gathering area. The building is set to open Winter of 2024.

The new CPR HQ will serve as a beacon of innovation, housing technologies and sustainable construction methods, with a focus on the utilization of cross laminated timber. The entire column and beam structure, second floor, roof structure, as well as a selection of interior shear walls and exterior perimeter walls will be made from mass timber.

The project is a collaboration between Skanska, Cincinnati Public Radio, Emersion DESIGN, Schaefer Inc. and Neyer Properties.
