Miami University's Cleveland Clinic Health Sciences and Wellness facility.
Oxford, Ohio, and Cleveland: In an expansion of their quantum computing partnership and with a shared goal of supporting students and training the next generation of healthcare workers, Miami University and Cleveland Clinic have announced the naming of the Cleveland Clinic Health Sciences and Wellness facility at Miami University. At its meeting in Columbus, Miami trustees voted today to authorize the president to execute a sponsorship and naming agreement, which establishes the naming of the building.
Built in 2023, the 165,000-square-foot facility boasts three wings of state-of-the-art clinics, classrooms, and simulation labs, and is home to three academic programs serving 1,300 students.
“We are thrilled to continue to grow our partnership with Cleveland Clinic and to honor the innovative collaboration in this way on our campus,” said Ande Durojaiye, Miami University Vice President of Strategy and Partnerships. “The naming of this facility is yet another example of how we are building an urban bridge between Oxford and Northeast Ohio, creating new opportunities for our students while supporting the future of healthcare.”
The Cleveland Clinic Health Sciences and Wellness facility will continue to house several healthcare majors in addition to multiple clinics providing direct health services. These clinics include Health Services, Student Counseling Service, and the Speech and Hearing Clinic. The facility also houses the Office of Student Wellness, offering Miami students preventative, experiential, and educational resources around holistic wellbeing.
“At Cleveland Clinic, we are committed to leveraging quantum and high-performance computing to transform biomedical research and enhance patient care,” said Serpil Erzurum, M.D., Cleveland Clinic’s Chief Research and Academic Officer. “Through our educational partnership with Miami University, we are creating a dynamic ecosystem to attract, develop, and retain top talent, driving advancements in quantum innovation and healthcare. By preparing the workforce of tomorrow and fostering collaboration across medicine, education, and technology, we are positioning Ohio as a global leader in healthcare innovation.”
Over the past year, the partnership between Miami and Cleveland Clinic has grown substantially in alignment with state and healthcare workforce needs, as well as student demand. The partnership has stoked collaborations in a number of areas including entrepreneurship, healthcare education, and nursing.
In January, Miami and Cleveland Clinic announced a joint effort to establish Ohio’s first specialized degree programs and research experiences in quantum computing. This initiative also cultivates scientific and entrepreneurial talent to develop companies, elevate businesses, and advance organizations that leverage quantum computing, strengthening Ohio’s global position in this transformative field.
In July, the State of Ohio further committed to this effort, awarding Miami University $7 million to create a quantum computing workforce and assist in establishing the Ohio Institute for Quantum Computing Research, Talent, and Commercialization. The institute, a partnership between Miami and Cleveland Clinic, will focus on workforce development, research, and commercialization and will be accessible to all Ohio higher education institutions.
Located at 421 S. Campus Ave., the Cleveland Clinic Health Sciences and Wellness facility will celebrate the partnership and naming of the building in October, once signage is complete.
