Overview
- Akron Children’s, named the top bidder Thursday in a court-supervised auction, secured rights to the former Notre Dame College campus in South Euclid.
- The City of South Euclid positioned itself as the backup buyer with a $7.9 million offer if the hospital’s deal falls through.
- City officials said the hospital’s winning offer was about $8 million, and the transaction still needs court approval and standard closing steps.
- The hospital plans to use the property for pediatric specialty services to expand access for families, building on a network that includes two hospital campuses and dozens of outpatient sites.
- Court filings and local reporting indicate a closing is expected by the end of June, and any change in use will go through public reviews for zoning or redevelopment.
