Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll all say that people are what makes a university great, but its facilities and physical setting are a large part of its image and a large part of what attracts people to the institution. As you know, there is a master plan for improving and revitalizing the Case Western Reserve University campus. The Weatherhead School has already made a very bold statement. But Case is hardly alone in looking to build the university in part with new buildings and grounds.<\/p>\n

A couple of hundred miles to the south, the University of Cincinnati has been seeking to turn its campus into a showpiece of modern architecture. What are they doing and why, how is it going and what can we learn from it? At a minimum we might expand our imaginations about what a campus can be. So this Friday Steven Litt will give us a look at\u00a0\u201cRebuilding Cincy: The Architectural Makeover of the University of Cincinnati Campus.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steve is the Art and Architecture Critic of the Plain Dealer, known throughout the region as a cogent critic and explainer of the choices about physical design ranging from a new convention center to expansion of the Cleveland Museum of Art. He visited with us a couple of years ago to discuss turning the Cuyahoga River Valley into far more of an amenity and attraction for the region. Please join us for what is sure to be another eye-opening discussion.<\/p>\n

As usual, the discussion will be from\u00a012:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.<\/strong>, with beverages and cookies provided. This week we will meet in\u00a0Crawford Hall Room 14<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Best regards,
\nJoe White<\/p>\n
