Classes were originally held in the high school. In 1963, Muskingum County gave 179 acres of land to Ohio University to construct a campus. Since that time, the Zanesville Campus has grown to approximately 3500 students who use six buildings while seeking over 35 academic programs. The Zanesville Campus Library serves Ohio University-Zanesville and Muskingum Area Technical College. The collection contains over 60,000 volumes and 350 periodical subscriptions as well as materials in audio, video, microform, and electronic formats.
All materials are available for use by the students, faculty, staff, and community.
