Make history. Make a difference!

The new 118,000-square foot building offers a professional, high-tech learning environment to prepare students for the business world. The building accommodates all the college’s programs.

The facility fosters new partnership opportunities with the business community and has become a powerful resource for attracting and retaining talented faculty and students.

To help maintain this facility, the university has embarked on a campaign to raise an additional $3.5 million for the College of Business. This impressive new building provides many naming opportunities through which gifts can be recognized.
