Beginning fall 2027, Bio-Med Science Academy will relocate its grades K-6 programs to °µÍø½ûÇø’s Schwartz Center.

°µÍø½ûÇø’s Board of Trustees approved a new partnership between the university and Bio-Med Science Academy STEM School that will bring new life to the underutilized Michael Schwartz Center building while providing the public STEM school with a state-of-the-art facility for its elementary grades. The Board’s vote of approval came during its regular quarterly meeting held Dec. 11.
In the newly released rankings, °µÍø½ûÇø is once again the highest-ranked public institution in northern Ohio, and with its impressive national ranking of No. 129, the university continues to be recognized among the Top Public Schools in the nation.
