Miami University’s partnership with Cleveland Clinic continues to grow.
The university will occupy the fourth floor of the CedarTech office building in Cleveland. Located at 10900 Carnegie Ave., the location will serve as the hub of Miami’s Urban Bridges program and will include offices and hoteling space for faculty, and collaboration space for students, according to Ande Durojaiye, vice president of strategy and partnerships.
Events and potential classrooms could also be part of the site, nestled in the Cleveland Innovation District.
“We want to have a physical space with a Miami presence so our students can still feel connected to the university while they’re doing amazing things in the district,” Durojaiye said.

The goal of the institute is to produce a future-ready workforce with graduates who are prepared to advance innovations that benefit Ohio and beyond. Miami and Cleveland Clinic are working to advance education in quantum computing and elevate Ohio’s global position in this transformative field.
Miami and Cleveland Clinic also unveiled the naming of the Cleveland Clinic Health Sciences and Wellness facility in October on the Oxford campus. The 165,000-square-foot building features three wings of state-of-the-art clinics, classrooms, and simulation labs serving 1,300 students and housing multiple healthcare majors.
“What we looked for with this new location was proximity to Cleveland Clinic and the Cleveland Innovation District," Durojaiye said. "We want to make sure our physical presence was close to continue to build those synergies.”
The CedarTech building, built in 1956, is 49,205 square feet. Miami’s fourth-floor space is 7,022 square feet. The Cleveland Innovation District connects healthcare and higher education with the purpose of creating jobs, educating the future workforce, and accelerating research.
Durojaiye noted a brick and mortar space to support students and faculty is essential for Urban Bridges in Cleveland. Urban Bridges is an initiative of MiamiTHRIVE, the university’s strategic plan.
Experiential learning and engaging in real-world experiences are two hallmarks of Urban Bridges.
“This is a win-win,” Durojaiye said. “We are very excited about this physical space and building an urban bridge from Cleveland to Oxford.”
Established in 1809, Miami University is located in Oxford, Ohio, with regional campuses in Hamilton and Middletown, a learning center in West Chester, and a European study center in Luxembourg.
