A work in progress for many years between CWRU, the surrounding community, elected officials, and many friends! The ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 15, 2024 was a time of celebration, excitement, and a testament to CWRU's ongoing commitment to community engagement.
When Western Reserve University moved to University Circle from Hudson in 1882, so began a long and fruitful relationship with the City of Cleveland and the vibrant neighborhoods adjacent to campus.
Today, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) continues this legacy of community engagement by welcoming local residents to its campus to enjoy free concerts, lectures, and community events, as well as sports camps for children and academic camps for teens.
