  • LC2 Fellows Report: Reimagining Collinwood High School
    LC2 Fellows Summary Report June 2015 Design Services Provided by: BIALOSKY + PARTNERS ARCHITECTS Abstract LC2 Fellows, a program of the Cleveland Leadership Center, undertook the initiative to envision the possible redevelopment and reuse of Collinwood High School. In support of their vision, this year’s LC2 Fellows sought to create a catalytic process of revitalizing the South Collinwood neighborhood. The presenting challenge of Collinwood High School is its significant emotional and historical value juxtaposed by its current unsustainable operational model to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. LC2 Fellows, a group of 26 individuals representing a cross-section of our community’s leaders, considered multiple repurposing strategies during its review process. In each case, significant obstacles were discovered that presented near insurmountable challenges. 2 This report summarizes the work of the LC2 Fellows and outlines potential options for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District to consider. BACKGROUND Each year, a group of volunteer alumni from past Leadership Cleveland classes enroll in the LC2 Fellows program. LC2 Fellows (LC2) is designed to engage alumni in an outcome-driven civic engagement experience resulting in positive sustainable change in our community. Consisting of twenty-six members, this year’s LC2 Fellows represented a diverse cross-section of our city’s for-profit, non-profit, and government sectors. (See Appendix A for the roster of LC2 Fellows.) LC2 created an initial vision and mission for their work. The group ambitiously dedicated themselves to serving as change agents in Cleveland’s neighborhood revitalization with a focus on schools as a core asset. LC2’s goals were to: • Make a lasting difference and leave a true legacy.

  • Vesta Corporation to Celebrate Groundbreaking of the Longfellow
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ashley McLaughlin Phone: (860) 325-1716 [email protected] Vesta Corporation To Celebrate Groundbreaking of The Longfellow Weatogue, Conn. (June 2, 2021)- Vesta Corporation (Vesta), a leading real estate firm specializing in the acquisition, development and management of multi-family affordable housing communities, secured financing and will celebrate the groundbreaking of The Longfellow, an affordable senior housing community on the nationally recognized historic site of the Henry W. Longfellow School in Cleveland, Ohio on June 24, 2021 at 1:00 PM. The Longfellow will create 80 new affordable senior apartment units, spread between the historic rehabilitation of the existing Henry W. Longfellow School and a newly constructed building on the property. Vesta’s vision for the site is to preserve the school building by adapting the classrooms into 30 apartments and refurbishing the auditorium and other prominent features as common space for residents and staff. The redevelopment plan also includes the construction of a new building on site with an additional 50 apartments and a connecting walkway providing residents easy access to features in both buildings without exposure to inclement weather and slippery sidewalks. The end result will preserve The Longfellow’s unique architectural features and repurpose the property into a community that will serve as a long-lasting source of high-quality affordable housing for years to come. “We are incredibly excited to celebrate this momentous groundbreaking after many years of hard work and commitment to fulfilling an essential need for high-quality affordable housing in the community,” said Aaron Greenblatt, Counsel for Vesta Corporation.
