Expansion for the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum included the renovation of historic Sullivant Hall located on High Street adjacent to the Wexner Center for the Arts.
The facility increased the library’s space from 6,808 square feet (632.5 m²) to more than 40,000 square feet (3,700 m²).
It features a reading room for researchers, three museum-quality galleries, and expanded storage space with state-of-the-art environmental and security controls.

In May 2009, Jean Schulz, widow of Charles M. Schulz, made a donation of $1 million with a promise of a matching grant if more funds were raised for the renovations.
Her challenge was that she would provide an additional gift of $2.5 million if Ohio State raised the same amount from other sources to reach a $6 million total.
Cartoonist Bil Keane and his family answered the Schulz Challenge with a $50,000 gift.

The $20.6 million project was completed in 2013, with Sullivant Hall housing both the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum and Ohio State's Department of Dance.
