About the Tour: University Circle emerged in the late 1880s when Western Reserve College and the Case Institute of Technology moved to the Circle. Its history is even more fascinating as a residential neighborhood, a transit hub, and a concentration of great public spaces. Today, University Circle is Cleveland’s largest concentration of economic, culture, education, and medical facilities and was recently named the Nation’s top cultural district.
