Scenes around campus
The campus of the Central State University is rich with the presence of art, which can be found in various forms, including wall art that graces the Student Center.
Take a moment to reflect on the beauty and solemnity of the Sunken Garden. Here, we welcome incoming Marauders and congratulate our outgoing Centralians through memorable annual ceremonies.
The Student Center is the perfect spot for dining, studying, and socializing. With a cafeteria, café, bookstore, and a variety of spacious seating options, it's an ideal place to enjoy your time.
The clock tower at Central State University serves as a powerful symbol of the unwavering determination and resilience of the Marauders. Despite suffering massive damage from a devastating tornado in 1974 that destroyed 80% of the campus, the indomitable spirit of our students could not be broken. Within just two weeks, classes reconvened, and our iconic 1906 clock tower stood tall and proud, one of the very few structures that remained unscathed.
The Hallie Q. Brown Memorial Library is a treasure trove of knowledge, containing an impressive collection of over 300,000 volumes from the University's library collections. In addition, it boasts a vast array of materials, including over 847,163 pieces of microfiche and microfilm, 66 print current periodical titles, 30,000 bound volumes of periodicals, as well as collections of phonograph records, tapes, CDs, DVDs, and film. This impressive collection is a testament to the dedication and commitment of those who have contributed to its growth and preservation and serves as a source of inspiration for all who seek to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
Getting to the Central State campus is convenient with highways connecting to Interstate 71 from all directions. The campus is situated at
