Entrepreneur converts old Andrew Carnegie library into arts center in Cleveland's Slavic Village By: Clay LePard Posted at 3:39 PM, Oct 18, 2023 and last updated 6:41 PM, Oct 18, 2023 CLEVELAND — It was the first library Andrew Carnegie donated to the city of Cleveland more than a century ago. However, it’s been a long time since people went inside the closed Broadway Avenue branch in Cleveland’s Slavic Village. Now, Darl Schaaff, an Alaskan entrepreneur, is finishing up work inside as he converts it into The Darl Center for the Arts. Schaaff explained the collection consists of 400 pieces of art he's accumulated over the years. https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/entrepreneur-converts-old-andrew-carnegie-library-into-arts-center-in-clevelands-slavic-village?fbclid=IwAR0tJ07mr1yeumETbfW_2WoHG4pjOihyvMa1bOsGwcUVH5tqYohkO71tiFg_aem_AWsmEryLMeAbY57oCrQYYsfT8BJoi1vHFyiuQpQQXdgVwP8JRjlUgO1MWQhTZ7hJPcE

ISEB construction work to begin Nov. 1 OCTOBER 17, 2023 Case Western Reserve University’s plans for its new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB) will take a visible step forward next month as preparations for Yost Hall’s demolition begin. Announced in June, the 189,000-square-foot ISEB is scheduled to open in the spring of 2026. But before construction can start, crews need to remove Yost Hall, a 72-year-old structure that initially served as student housing. Starting Wednesday, Nov. 1, Cleveland-based Turner Construction Co. will begin preparing the area for demolition. This process will involve installation of fencing and signage, as well as work within Yost. Tomlinson Hall—including its ground floor dining area—will remain fully accessible to students, faculty and staff entering from Case Quad. https://thedaily.case.edu/iseb-construction-work-to-begin-nov-1/?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=thedaily_universitynews

!!! Smoke and water damage from a fire leaves Western Reserve Historical Society library closed for 6-9 months Updated: Oct. 16, 2023, 5:38 p.m.| Published: Oct. 16, 2023, 12:26 p.m. By Steven Litt, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio — The library at the Western Reserve Historical Society library remains closed after a fire late last month left archival materials in the basement damaged by water and other parts of the four-story brick building affected by smoke and soot. On Sept. 29, the historical society reopened regular programs and exhibits at the institution’s complex at 10825 East Blvd. The institution is known for housing local treasures, including the Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel, the neon Cleveland Indians Wahoo sign, and a large collection of vintage automobiles. Ann Sindelar, the library’s reference supervisor, said that roughly 100 boxes of records from three specific collections were involved, a number she said was a small fraction of the overall collection. The library declined to identify the specific nature of the documents because it had not yet contacted all the donors, Sindelar said. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/10/smoke-and-water-damage-from-a-fire-leaves-western-reserve-historical-society-library-closed-for-6-9-months.html
