The ESC of Medina County celebrated the opening of our new facility at 275 Center Street, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and Open House on October 6, 2023. Joining us in the celebration were State, County and village officials along with several superintendents from Medina County Schools, the ESC Governing Board members at other supporters of the ESC.
We began the construction project in February, 2023. BSHM Architects did a great job transforming our drawings into plans and Engelke Construction worked side by side with is to make the building a reality and we are very pleased with the end results.
The ESC of Medina County supports the 27,000 students and the school district staff who serve them in Medina County. From our previous location just off the Square in Medina we were able to serve our surrounding communities but always dealt with the challenges of being downtown - limited parking and outdated facilities which weren’t conducive to either our school programs or our professional development offerings for Medina County Schools.
Our new location in Seville provides easy access to major highways, more available parking, and cutting edge technology for our staff and our Professional Development space.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Superintendent Hlasko stated "This building represents so many positives for us and for Medina County but, as with any physical structure, it’s not the building that makes the organization successful. The building can’t build relationships with staff and students - it can’t provide professional learning to keep our teachers and administrators on the cutting edge. Our staff and our partnerships with the schools and organizations is what has made this building so meaningful."
