Welcome center is a great new starting point for Cleveland State University

Cleveland State University has been striving to change the "feel" of its campus for several years now, and the results have been healthy, to say the least.
Just for fun, Jim Pressler of Cleveland and daughter Claire try out the photo booth at the newly opened Cleveland State University welcome center.

What was once an enclosed, concrete fortress has steadily been transformed into an outward-looking, far more inviting center of higher learning. What was once widely seen as "just a commuter school" is working hard to become a real residential campus.

This fall came the latest architectural change -- one that the general public won't see, but that prospective students and their parents will: A new welcome center is now the place where admissions counselors work, where campus tours are launched and where newcomers get their first inkling of what CSU is like.

The welcome center is nestled among the new Euclid Commons dorms, right at the heart of residential campus life. It's a place that gives prospective students an opportunity to connect with CSU's history and envision their own futures in and beyond college. It's a vibe changer, and that's a good thing.

drove by the other day and it's gorgeous! A little jealous that none of this was there when I was.
