Tri-C Hospitality Management Center at Public Square

Near Public Square, Tri-C’s Hospitality Management Center gathers the college’s hospitality programs in an urban teaching site built for applied learning. The center opened in 2010 in the former May Company building at 180 Euclid Avenue, downtown. Its address places coursework close to the hotels, restaurants and event venues that make up Cleveland’s hospitality industry, although access to specific rooms and kitchens follows the academic calendar.

The facilities are designed for hands-on instruction: Tri-C lists a demonstration studio, an 80-seat demonstration kitchen, two full kitchens and event rooms. Programs include Culinary Arts, Restaurant/Food Service Management, and Hotel, Destination and Event Management, with professional certificates in areas such as baking, food operations, event planning and lodging. The college describes four-month, nine-month and 24-month pathways, depending on the credential. Check the individual course sequence to see which duration applies to your goal.

Practice connects classroom lessons to kitchen work, service, catering, food and beverage, lodging and tourism. Tri-C’s hospitality program is accredited by the American Culinary Federation Education Foundation and the Accreditation Commission for Programs in Hospitality Administration. For credit totals, prerequisites, costs and start dates, use the specific catalog entry: short certificates and associate degrees have different requirements and schedules.

Tri-C lists this as a teaching center and provides an interactive map and directions page. It sits in central Cleveland near the city’s transit network; parking should be confirmed for each visit because the campus page does not promise an on-site student lot. Prospective students can call 216-987-4081 or contact the hospitality department to ask which programs meet here, when a tour is available and which enrollment services are handled at this address.
