New Living Building to Feature Stories of Success
Strategic innovation is at the core of everything we do at The Paul Merage School of Business. When it comes to our campus, this same principle holds true. As the Merage School continues to expand and as we broaden our reach and influence, our campus must reflect and accommodate this growth.
To enhance the delivery of our high quality programs, compete with the world’s best institutions, and continue to attract and retain the highest quality faculty and students, Dean Andy Policano set his sites on the development of a new building — the first since 1989.
“Due to our innovative curriculum, executive programs, and research conducted and presented by the School and its highly regarded faculty, we are expanding at an accelerated rate. We have outgrown our existing facility and significant added space is vital,” he said.
This new living building reflects the Merage School’s emphasis on innovation and outreach to the business community. Museum-like displays and video screens will tell the success stories of our benefactors and contributors. Visualize yourself— your company, your family — within this building, as the story of your success and commitment unfolds for thousands of visitors, students and business leaders to see (read more here).
The building will house a 300-seat auditorium, high tech classrooms, a laptop computer lab, career resource library, conference and group study facilities, colloquia and interview rooms, food service, and a multi-use reception area. With AC Martin as the program architect, the 85,000 square-foot structure’s development is led by Assistant Dean John Clarke and is now transitioning into the design/build phase. Funded with both state money and a projected $20 million in new gifts, the $55 million building is expected to be complete by 2012.
