In addition to a large number of classrooms and instructional laboratories, facilities include the various administrative offices, Student Services, a theatre building and several outdoor athletic fields. Faculty offices, staff conference rooms and student lounges are located throughout the campus. Other features include a non-denominational chapel, an art gallery, archery and karate rooms, a teletypereading room, a student coffee house and a recreational area known as The Wheel. Identification with community needs is the hallmark of the comprehensive community college. This community-college coalescence is especially pronounced at Tri-C Western. The campus serves as focal point and meeting place for many community events and groups. The Cleveland Institute of Music's Southwest Branch and the Cuyahoga Astronomical Association are quartered here. In addition, a Radio Amateur Civilian Emergency Service station, which serves 13 communities in time of national or military disaster, is located here.
