The Idora Neighborhood Association has teamed with Art Youngstown to create a mural on the side of an abandoned Sparkle grocery store on Glenwood Avenue.
Work on the mural commenced on Saturday, was completed on Sunday, and will be formally unveiled Tuesday.
some pictures of the work in progress:
Many in the community will join together at 7pm Tuesday to celebrate the project, located at 2410 Glenwood Avenue.
The Idora Neighborhood Association meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 6pm.
"Approximately 23 faculty, staff and researchers associated with the YSU Center of Excellence in Materials Science and Engineering will contribute to the proposed Ph.D. program. The expertise of YSU’s current faculty covers the four main components of materials science and engineering, i.e., structure, processing, properties and performance/application. YSU is in the process of hiring four new faculty members in strategic areas to support the proposed program.
The research facilities are adequate for the proposed degree. The faculty has demonstrated its ability to attract external funding to support doctoral students, and the School of Graduate Studies and Research is well poised to provide basic grants-management services for the university."
additionally from a consultant:
"In the proposal for the new degree, YSU has carefully considered how the new degree will distinguish itself from and complement the other materials-related programs in Northeast Ohio.
YSU acknowledges the unique strengths of three research intensive universities with materials-related programs: Case Western Reserve University, The University of Akron and Kent State University.
Two distinguishing factors of the proposed YSU program are (1) a focus on industrial and manufacturing problems as opposed to more fundamental research and (2) a primary emphasis on hard materials (ceramics and metals) as opposed to polymers."
"The proposed program also builds upon a series of research milestones achieved by the university and the YSU College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics over the past several months, including the creation of the YSU Center for Transportation and Materials Engineering, the opening of the new YSU Center for Advanced Materials, the creation of the Center for Efficiency in Sustainable Energy Systems, and record-setting levels of external research funding. "
Today the ribbon was cut at the outstanding new building for the Williamson College of Business Administration.
This LEED-certified structure is located between YSU and the downtown - effectively connecting the two districts previously separated by two blocks of quasi-industrial space.
The building helps to cement the reality of the downtown and university as a single united locus - filled with talent, arts, technology and business.
Here are a few pictures of the colors and textures within the building:
a video of the interior:
more views from the inside - and make sure to check out the sight lines and views to downtown from the building.
some added design features:
a shower in the building for after you commute to work on your bike.
(or for after you've stood outside under the summer sun during a ribbon counting)
The water pressure was pretty good, but the temperature was a little cold for my tastes.

another design feature:
the sweeping views of downtown from multiple conference rooms and public space in the building:
Hopefully the utility poles will be able to be buried in the future for unobstructed views.
One final neat thing noticed:
During today's ceremonies, an impressive Youngstown State backdrop was behind the podium:
But if you look closely, the background is actually a huge sticker...fabricated to match the speckled stone and mortar designs that one finds throughout the entire exterior.
Overall, the $36 million dollar building is a fine addition to campus.
How about this for a marketing line for Youngstown?
Youngstown: A Great Place to Fail - A Greater Place to Succeed
the emerging narrative of Youngstown...
with > lower labor costs than the rest of U.S. > an abundance of talent graduating every semester > downtown core with a 16,000 student university + tech businesses > access to three airports, not one > connectivity to political leadership > a flattened hierarchy for instant civic engagement > a supurb quality of life for your workforce at minimal prices
what better place exists in the U.S. for you to start-up your business?
if you fail?
you'll be poorer, but not destitute.
and if you succeed?
you'll be richer, and collect more profit than if in other places.
