Wellogy

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.

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.

We are so proud of you, Fernanda!

The Knowlton School is pleased to announce that Fernanda Loyola Cardoso has been awarded the inaugural Director’s Travel Prize for her proposal “Singapore: Architectural and Urban Contradictions in Addressing the Critical Zone.”

Loyola Cardoso—an undergraduate architecture student with a city and regional planning minor—will travel to Singapore during summer 2024 to research that city’s Gardens by the Bay and other sites.

--- from Loyola Cardoso’s research proposal

Singapore, a global leader in innovative and sustainable architecture, portrays its green infrastructure in the Gardens by the Bay region as strategies that actively tackle its Critical Zone. Despite these notions, the architectural and urban phenomena present in Gardens by the Bay have infused practices of greenwashing, portraying an unrealistic image of sustainability (Schneider-Mayerson, 2017). The intended research aims to capture the unsustainable architectural and urban contradictions practiced in Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay to further understand the environmental outputs at stake in the Anthropocene.
