This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

P was severely injured when his right hand and arm went through a panel of wire-reinforced glass in a door in his dormitory. Larson & Nassau (D) designed, and Knowlton (D) had constructed the dorm in the 1960s. P filed suit within the statute of limitations. Ds moved for summary judgment under a statute of repose. The completion of performance of the services of both D in this case, the architect and builder, occurred no later than December 31, 1966. P's injuries occurred on September 11, 1985, over eighteen and one-half years after the repose period began to run. The trial court granted Ds’ motion, and P appealed. The court of appeals affirmed. Appellant now challenges the constitutionality of R.C. 2305.131, which clearly bars his action in negligence for personal injuries against these appellees.
