Kent State University
Ashtabula Health & Science Building
Ashtabula, Ohio
To address increasing enrollment, Kent State University's Ashtabula Campus commissioned CBLH to design a new Health and Science Building to meet its growing needs. As recommended in a recently completed master plan for the campus which recognized the rapidly expanding allied health field, a new building will be constructed for the Health and Sciences.
The Kent State University's Ashtabula campus opened its first building in 1967. In 1972 several other buildings were added. Since that time, no new work has occurred on the campus; however, enrollment has continued to increase.
