Founded in September 1946, the Saint Thomas More Newman Center is the official Catholic campus ministry to The Ohio State University. The Center was placed in the charge of the Paulist Fathers on September 8, 1956. The original location was a house on Iuka Street, on the east side of campus. The present Center, located across from the northeastern corner of the OSU campus, was dedicated in October 1971. In September 2006, the Center was rededicated after renovations that included a daily Chapel, office space, meeting rooms and dedicated student space. The artist for the stained glass found throughout the worship spaces of the Newman Center was former Paulist student, Nick Markell. The Newman Center rededication ceremony took place October 6, 2002.
