UC Blue Ash College expands space for students

BLUE ASH, OH (FOX19) - Students at the University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College have a lot of new space to study, meet with friends, or relax between classes.  The college opened the new Bleecker Street Café and Student Commons this week, to coincide with the beginning of the summer semester.

The new additions cover 7,000 square feet and mark completion of the second portion of a $4.5 million renovation project at Muntz Hall.  This phase addresses the need to provide more space for the growing student population, while also enhancing the food options on campus.

“This new space is designed with our students, faculty and staff in mind,” said Dr. Cady Short-Thompson, Dean of UC Blue Ash.  “We wanted to provide new, inviting and comfortable space where people can come together to meet, study or just take a break from a busy day.  I believe this addition will really help transform our campus.”
