Kent State University School

In 1926 it relocated to the William A. Cluff Teacher Training Building, now known as Franklin Hall.

The school was moved to a new building at the corner of Morris Road and East Summit Street in 1956.

This building is today known as the Michael Schwartz Center and houses several student services and administrative offices.

The model school was intended to give teachers training in a rural setting.

[4] The agreement with the state of Ohio required the city of Kent to provide 240 students for a teacher training school.

The school had a policy that classes could not exceed 50% of children of KSU faculty, staff, or students unless there were no names on the waiting list.

[10] The school had its own athletic facilities once it moved to what is now the Schwartz Center, as the building included its own auditorium and gymnasium.

Athletic fields were located just to the east of the building along Summit Street and included a running track.
