University Circle

“University Circle is Ohio’s knowledge district,” says University Circle Inc. president Chris Ronayne. More than 50 organizations are crowded into one square mile, including Case Western Reserve, Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, Cleveland Museum of Art and Severance Hall. With $796 million invested in current construction projects and another $2.3 billion planned for the next five years, University Circle is committed to becoming a premier urban district.
