1972-1973

Prior to the Summer of 1971, the land at the corner of Harvard Rd. and Robert Bishop Dr. was a field in the highlands of Cuyahoga County.

By Oct. 13, 1971, the field had become the Eastern Campus of Cuyahoga Community College-welcoming nearly 1,500 students on opening day.

The landscape remains green-the view open for miles. But nowimplanted in the center of this-is a humming educational facility. Located at 25444 Harvard Rd., Warrensville Township, Tri-C Eastern became the third CCC campus and furthered the College's efforts to make lowcost higher education easily accessible to all members of the Greater Cleveland community.

The Eastern Campus replaces both the Eastern and Southeastern Academic Centers which formerly offered evening classes at Charles F. Brush and Warrensville Heights High Schools. Unlike the academic centers, however, the Eastern Campus offers a. comprehensive day and evening program similar to those of the Metropolitan and Western Campuses.

Although Tri-C Eastern is an interim facility-plans call for development of a permanent facility in the future-the movable, prefabricated, modular steel facilities now in use will be utilized in the permanent Eastern Campus.

The Eastern Campus contains air-conditioned classrooms and lecture rooms, several laboratories which comprise the science center, and several other rooms for specialized curriculums. Tri-C Eastern's functional and modern structure also houses the campus library, which is adjacent to the District Technical Library Service, a leisure/lunch lounge, student center, bookstore, instructional service offices, and administrative, faculty and counseling offices. Additional facilities are to be added to accommodate increased enrollment during the 1972-73 academic year.
