CWRU wants the new building to help grow the regional economy, attract and retain star researchers, and open up a walled-off portion of its campus that has long sent a “keep out” message to adjacent majority-Black neighborhoods.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Case Western Reserve University has high ambitions for the new, $300 million research building it’s planning as the biggest single investment on its main campus in decades.
In addition to helping it win more grants and boost its rankings, A chemical engineer who holds 10 patents, Kaler said he came to CWRU specifically to shift what he calls its “stagnant’' non-medical research operations into a higher gear. “We’re not big enough to take on all the world’s problems and then do all of them well, so, therefore, we have to pick and choose, and that’s very tricky,’’ said Ragu Balakrishnan, dean of the Case School of Engineering. He will oversee research projects in the new building along with Joy Ward, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, who will serve as interim provost starting July 1.
