Conference Location

University of Cincinnati

The 2015 ACADIA Conference will take place in Cincinnati , Ohio, a renown city for its historic architecture. A testament to this fact is the community on the edge of the downtown business district, Over-the-Rhine (OTR). Built primarily between 1850 and 1900, OTR is believed to be the largest, most intact urban historic district in the United States. The conference itself will take place on the campus of the University of Cincinnati at the School of Architecture and Interior Design and is kindly supported by the Contemporary Arts Center and 21c Museum Hotel in downtown Cincinnati.
