Daley Family Pavilion & Daley Family Terrace

The Daley Family Pavilion and Daley Family Terrace offer more than 13,000 square feet of permanent entertaining space adjacent to The Blackwell Inn, the Pfahl Conference Center, and Fisher Hall. This all-season structure and outdoor space provide a year-round environment that facilitates private and public special events and expands educational opportunities on campus.

The project received primary support from Clayton C. Daley Jr., a Fisher College alum and former vice chairperson and chief financial officer at The Procter & Gamble Company. The pavilion and terrace honor the Daley family's legacy and their longstanding commitment to Ohio State and Fisher. Three generations of Daleys graduated as Buckeyes, starting with Clayton C. Daley in 1951 and most recently with Clayton C. Daley, III in 2006.

“Fisher College is both honored and incredibly grateful to the Daley family for their generous support of the Daley Family Pavilion and Daley Family Terrace,” says Anil K. Makhija, Dean and John W. Berry, Sr. Chair in Business at Fisher. “We share a vision with Clayton that this space will become a premier destination for our college, university, and central Ohio communities to host special events and celebrate milestones.”

The 3,200-square-foot pavilion provides sheltered space for Fisher traditions like its annual pre-game at Fisher tailgates. It also expands The Blackwell's capabilities to host conferences, award ceremonies, and weddings. The adjacent terrace offers nearly 10,000 square feet of additional outdoor space.

“As a family of proud alumni, we understand the power of an education from Ohio State,” says Clayton C. Daley Jr. “Our support of this project celebrates the significant role that business education has played in our family for over 70 years. We are excited by the many opportunities this new structure will provide to countless groups and individuals here on campus and throughout central Ohio.”

The new Daley Family Pavilion and Daley Family Terrace was recently completed. Contact us today to plan your event in this remarkable space.
