University of Akron Campus

Currently the Akron campus covers 218 acres and encompasses 81 buildings. Recent and continued growth with new academic, administrative and recreational spaces, as well as major renovations to existing buildings, are attributable to the current Master Plan,"A New Landscape for Learning."

Location

The University is situated in a large metropolitan area. The campus, although centrally located within the City of Akron, features park-like pedestrian areas. Students have easy access to retail outlets, transportation, and churches. The University of Akron is located between East Market Street and East Exchange Street on the eastside of the downtown area. Akron is easily reached by automobile from major national east-west routes (Interstates 80, 90, 76, and the Ohio Turnpike) and northsouth routes (Interstates 71 and 77), all of which link Akron to the surrounding states and regions. For airline passengers, limousine service is available from the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport located to the north and the Akron-Canton Regional Airport, located to the south.
