D - Academic Expansion / CIA Site (to be determined)
 The Cleveland Institute of Art is developing plans to consolidate into a single campus at their Triangle Site, and Case has pledged to use our recently acquired property between Euclid Avenue and Mayfield Road to help CIA realize these plans, and will work to acquire the current CIA building and parking site when CIA relocates. The significance of the Cleveland Institute of Art building and site within the Case campus is twofold. Programmatically, the site could be used for academic expansion to support graduate and professional programs, such as the Law School and MSASS, both of which are highly space-constrained, as well open up new possibilities for art and humanities for the College of Arts and Sciences.
While other sites have been identified for this expansion within the Central Campus, the CIA site provides the best opportunities. From a planning perspective, the site could be developed as an integral piece of the connected network of campus spaces, stitching together the interior of the campus. The site also provides the opportunity to improve the outward image of the campus along East Boulevard and to develop a campus edge that is more responsive to the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Fine Arts Garden, and Wade Oval.
