Ohio Northern University’s Child Development Center will be expanding in physical space and enrollment to provide enhanced services to the campus community and the public.
Construction on a 4,000-square-foot facility is expected to begin this fall directly across from the existing 1,600-square-foot center at 209 Union St. A fall semester 2022 opening is tentatively planned.
The new facility will incorporate more space for learning, play and conferencing, and accommodate more families. Architectural renderings have not yet been created, but administrators are planning to build a one-story brick building with basic design elements that will blend with the rest of campus.
U.S. News & World Report has ranked Ohio Northern University third in Best Regional Colleges in the Midwest and No. 4 in the Midwest for Best Value.

The annual rankings examine various criteria ranging from student-to-teacher ratios to socioeconomic elevation.
Singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” in an empty NFL stadium in 2020 was still a dream. This time around, Ohio Northern University’s V.P. for Student Affairs Adriane Thomson Bradshaw, Ph.D., will be belting out the same patriotic number in the same place, but to a packed house for the Cleveland Browns’ home opener this Sunday, Sept. 19. The team will take on the Texans at 1 p.m. EST.
Thompson-Bradshaw, a Cleveland native, is known for her musical acumen, which she honed as a child during church services and has continued to cultivate over the years. In 1987, she formed ONU’s Gospel Ensemble. She calls singing “one of the passions of my life.”
