Demolition update
Destruction of the old
Carnegie Medical Building, aka the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine Building, is well underway. It's being torn down back to front, so the facade still stands relatively unimpaired on Carnegie.
Meanwhile CSU has completely removed the
Corlett Building, the white terra cotta structure on Euclid just west of East 21st Street, in front of the Music and Communications Building.
I don't believe there are any exciting plans for either site at the moment.

CSU Finances Sale of Downtown YMCA Bldg.
The Cleveland State University Foundation has facilitated the purchase of the historic YMCA Building, on the southeast corner of Prospect Avenue and East 22nd Street. A Ironically, this is the location where CSU got its start, as the YMCA's education program, although the exact
Fenn Building to the south was demolished recently. Y-Tech was renamed Fenn College for a major benefactor before being sold to the state in 1964 to form the core of CSU (
more).
The Foundation will lend funds to the Euclid Avenue Housing Corporation to purchase the building, which will be managed by American Campus Housing the entity who runs CSU's dorms. [This is a correction to my earlier blog saying that CSU itself had purchased the building]
