History

Cleveland State traces its historical roots to 1870, when the Cleveland YMCA began to offer free classes. The YMCA program was formalized in 1881, reorganized in 1906 as the Association Institute, and became the Cleveland School of Technology, later renamed Fenn College. Fenn College expanded, taking over several buildings in the area, including a automobile dealership in what is now Stillwell Hall. In 1964 Cleveland State appropriated the buildings, faculty, staff, and programs of Fenn College, a private institution of 2,500 students, and became a public university.
