Campus
CIM's East Boulevard entrance

CIM is located in the University Circle, a four-mile square neighborhood in Cleveland that was listed as one of "America's Prettiest Neighborhoods" by Forbes magazine[4] in 2011.

The main building was opened in 1961 and houses teaching studios, practice rooms, Kulas Hall, Robinson Music Library, technology learning center, Eurhythmics studio, orchestra library, opera theater workshop and studio, and the CIM music and book store. In 2007, CIM completed a remodeling project in conjunction with a campaign to raise $40 million. Two wings were added to the main building. The facilities added 36,000 square feet (3,300 m2), which include:

  • An entryway and expanded lobby (Pogue Lobby) on East Boulevard
  • An expanded Barbara S. and Larry J. B. Robinson Music Library
  • Mixon Hall, a 235-seat, state-of-the-art recital hall
  • The Robert and Jean Conrad Audio Control Room for high-tech broadcasting
  • The Fred A. Lennon Education Building which includes new practice rooms, teaching studios and a student lounge
  • The Kulas Center for International Education (Distance Learning Studio)

The renovations also included administrative spaces and the addition of the Gilliam Family Music Garden, viewable year round from Mixon Hall.
