The Ohio State University at Newark is a satellite campus of Ohio State University in Newark, Ohio. [3] During its early years, classes were held at old Newark High School. In 1966, over one million dollars pledged by 7,000 local citizens to match funds from the state legislature supported the cost of buying 155 acres (0.63 km2) of land and constructing the first building, Founders Hall, which opened in 1968.

History

Since Founders Hall opened, it has become home to classrooms, general administrative and faculty offices, labs, and the library. Hopewell Hall opened in 1976 and includes labs, a student lounge area, classrooms, faculty offices, the cafeteria, the bookstore, financial aid, and fees and deposits. Adena Hall was completed in 1978 and contains the gymnasium and workout facilities, classrooms, laboratories, and faculty offices. In autumn 1986, the student apartment complex opened, and in 1988 the Child Development Center was built. LeFevre Hall, opened in 1993, and is home to technical education, performing arts, and faculty offices. The Reese Center opened in October 2004 and contains classrooms, a 600-seat auditorium, a ballroom and conference center, the Cyber Café, faculty offices, labs, and the executive board room. Currently, the Ohio State Newark is the largest of the OSU regional campuses with 50 distinguished faculty members and a student body of over 2,700. [2] The Newark campus has greatly increased its enrollment over the last decade due to the increasingly stringent admission requirements at Ohio State's main campus: since 2013, more students attend from Franklin County than Licking County. [5]

Since 1971, the Ohio State Newark campus has partnered with Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) to share a higher education complex and to help meet the state's growing need for skilled technicians.

In addition, as part of the Ohio State University library system and the OhioLINK consortium, the Library provides access to over 9 million unique items, including 19,000 e-books and nearly 6,000 full-text electronic journals.

The Martha Grace Amphitheatre was reopened in 1999 at Ohio State Newark. It was named after the mother of J. Gilbert Reese and the Gilbert Reese Family Foundation who donated the money to rededicate the amphitheater and make it open to the public. Because it is open to the public the Martha Grace Amphitheatre also holds weddings and other types of large events for people in the community.
