Chamberlain University is staking a big claim in suburban Cincinnati, planning a new nursing and health-care campus for about 450 students after signing a lease for an entire floor at The Tower at The Kenwood Collection. The site will put classrooms and clinical-training space inside a Kenwood office tower, marking a highly visible expansion by the national nursing educator into one of the region's busiest retail-and-office hubs. If Chamberlain hits its enrollment targets, local hospitals and students could see a faster handoff from classroom training into clinical roles close to home.
As reported by the Cincinnati Business Courier, Chamberlain has signed on for a full-floor space that the university says can accommodate roughly 450 students. The Courier cast the deal as a new bricks-and-mortar campus for Chamberlain in Greater Cincinnati's Kenwood submarket, giving the school a prominent foothold in the region.
Lease and location details
The new campus will sit in The Tower at The Kenwood Collection at 5905 E Galbraith Road, a mixed-use complex that blends retail with Class A office space. A JLL leasing brochure for the property lists a "Full 3rd floor" at that address and shows lease timing that lines up with the reported tenancy, while The Kenwood Collection's own website underscores the building's quick access to Interstate 71 and major retail anchors. Altogether, the location offers straightforward access to transit, everyday amenities and potential clinical partners in the immediate area.
Why this move matters for the workforce
Chamberlain operates under the Covista umbrella, the company formerly known as Adtalem, which has been growing its classroom footprint and clinical partnerships as part of a broader push to help ease the national nursing shortage. Materials from Covista emphasize expanding access and industry ties so graduates can move more directly into nursing jobs. For Cincinnati-area hospitals already competing for talent, a dedicated Chamberlain campus nearby could gradually widen the pipeline of locally trained nurses over the coming years.
