Ohio State University at Newark

In 1966, over one million dollars pledged by 7,000 local citizens to match funds from the state legislature supported the cost of buying 155 acres (0.63 km2) of land and constructing the first building, Founders Hall, which opened in 1968.

Hopewell Hall opened in 1976 and includes labs, a student lounge area, classrooms, faculty offices, the cafeteria, the bookstore, financial aid, and fees and deposits.

Currently, the Ohio State Newark is the largest of the OSU regional campuses with 50 distinguished faculty members and a student body of over 2,700.

Because it is open to the public the Martha Grace Amphitheatre also holds weddings and other types of large events for people in the community.

Adena Hall is open throughout the day and evening for recreational use by students, faculty, and staff of the Newark Campus.

Participants can spend their free time enjoying basketball, volleyball, weight training, walking, and jogging.
