CIM’s state-of-the-art student housing complex is located at 1609 Hazel Drive, just steps from CIM’s main building. The facility includes 22 acoustically isolated practice rooms on the main floor, residence space for first- and second-year CIM undergraduates as well as limited rental units targeted at upper-class and graduate students on the second and third floors. In general, first-year students will live in four-person suites with double bedrooms, and second years will live in four-person suites with single bedrooms.
Off-Campus Housing
Graduate students as well as most upper level undergraduates live off campus. CIM provides, on the Student Life pages of the website, access to off-campus housing bulletins which contain advertisements for the following: rental of apartments, rooms in private homes, third floors in houses, single and multifamily homes, condominiums, and roommates wanted. Most of the vacancies are near CIM or in the suburban communities close to University Circle. Many are within walking distance.
Health and Wellness
The Office of Student Affairs coordinates general health and wellness programs for the benefit of the CIM community with local health and wellness providers in the Cleveland area.
CIM is committed to ensuring that all music students will be provided basic information regarding the maintenance of hearing, vocal, and musculoskeletal health and injury prevention. General information on this topic is found at cim.edu/students/ wellness; additionally, CIM’s Robinson Music Library has developed an online resource tool specifically for this area of knowledge, found at libguides.cim.edu/wellness.
Detailed information about health and wellness at CIM, including resources and referrals to local health and wellness practitioners are found on the wellness page. Details about an earplug purchase program and a chart on average decibel levels in different types of musical environments and the relationship to aural health are found on the wellness as well.
Student Workers: Health & Safety Training
CIM maintains a thorough departmental training program for students who may be employed to work in student work study positions. In particular, students in the Library, Mail Room, Recording Arts and Services, Concert Hall Stage Managers, Set-up Crew and the stage crew for opera productions are all given instruction in proper use of materials and equipment. In addition students in specific majors who are required to use potentially dangerous equipment are all trained appropriately; students working for Concert and Events are trained in moving stage equipment and instruments, etc. Only students trained in the process for moving equipment are allowed to do so.
