Institutional control (Public, Private for-profit, or Private non-profit):
A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
The University of Cincinnati's (UC's) Uptown Campus is located in the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio. The Uptown Campus is divided between a "West Academic Campus" and a "East Medical Campus." Both campuses' academic, residential, administrative and independent hospital partners are supplied electricity, steam and chilled water year round by a state-of-the-art central tri-gen plant and seasonally are supplied steam from a smaller older coal plant (located on the East Medical Campus. Given its nature, the campus is operational 24/7 year round, with various business hour facilities closing at different times throughout the week and academic school year. In addition to its main campus, UC has a number of satellite campuses spread throughout the Cincinnati area (which are not included in this assessment).
Which of the following features are present on campus and which are included within the institutional boundary?:
| Present? | Included? | |
| Agricultural school | No | No |
| Medical school | Yes | Yes |
| Other professional school with labs and clinics (e.g. dental, nursing, pharmacy, public health, veterinary) | Yes | Yes |
| Satellite campus | Yes | No |
