Ohio State University-Newark Campus

Ohio State University-Newark Campus stands as the largest and most dynamic of Ohio State's regional campuses, offering a distinctive pathway to a world-class education. Founded in 1957, this public satellite campus serves a vibrant community of over 2,700 students, boasting a dedicated faculty and a continually expanding array of facilities. It has become a crucial entry point for many, particularly with the increasingly selective admissions at the main Columbus campus, drawing students from across the region.

The campus's history is one of continuous growth and commitment to student success. From the initial opening of Founders Hall in 1957, which housed classrooms and the library, to the addition of Hopewell Hall in 1976, and Adena Hall in 1978, the campus has steadily built a comprehensive learning environment. This expansion includes vital resources like student apartments, a Child Development Center, and the modern Reese Center, which opened in 2004 with a 600-seat auditorium and conference facilities. A cornerstone of its identity is its enduring partnership since 1971 with Central Ohio Technical College (COTC), fostering a shared complex and collaborative educational opportunities.

Students at Ohio State Newark benefit from an engaging academic experience supported by 50 distinguished faculty members. The campus library, now located in the Warner Center and shared with COTC, provides extensive resources, including approximately 50,000 print volumes and access to over 9 million unique items through the Ohio State University library system and OhioLINK consortium. Beyond academics, the campus offers a lively student experience with amenities like a gymnasium, workout facilities, a cafeteria, and the Martha Grace Amphitheatre, which not only serves campus events but also hosts community gatherings, creating a truly integrated educational and public space.
