Our history

The MCUC is located on approximately 50 acres of land in Lafayette Township that was gifted to The University of Akron by the Medina County Commissioners. The site is co-located with land that is being developed into a business innovation park by the Medina County Port Authority and the Medina County Economic Development Corporation.

The parcel is located just south of the City of Medina and is bounded by Lake Road on the East and Wedgewood Road (Rt. 162) on the South.

The groundbreaking for the facility occurred on October 24, 2005. Site development efforts were initiated in August 2006, the construction contract was awarded in September 2006 and we opened for our first semester of classes on January 14, 2008.
