Landscaping and Grounds

 

Landscaping & Grounds

One of Case Western Reserve University's most important assets is our 128-acre campus in the heart of Cleveland's University Circle. The Circle is an association of more than 40 institutions dedicated to the advancement of learning, science, medicine, religion, and the arts. It is also a 500-acre preserve celebrating the graceful conjunction of culture and nature.

The best way to appreciate the beauty of our surroundings is to become a part of them. We encourage visitors to walk through the carefully landscaped campus and experience its pleasures firsthand. Approximately 1,700 trees and uncountable shrubs grace the spaces between our 86 buildings. In addition the John and Mildred Putnam Sculpture Collection provides 26 stunning examples of work by regional artists, including many who live in Cleveland and other parts of Ohio.

This Nature Walk will help acquaint visitors with distinctive features of the campus arboretum through a self-guided tour. Trees and shrubs indicated on the North and South campus maps are identified on-site with informative markers.
