Just as the face of business education is changing, so too will the face and reputation of the Eli Broad College of Business when the construction of its new $60 million building opens in two years.
The Business College Pavilion will transform the way students learn and give the college a competitive edge among the nation’s top business schools.
Flexible classrooms, an expanded career center, high-tech systems, and a glass-walled atrium will afford panoramic views of the Red Cedar River.
The three-story, 100,000-square-foot addition will be adjacent to the Broad College Building and Eppley Center.
“The pavilion will be more than just a building. It will become a notable part of our university’s history,” Lou Anna K. Simon, MSU president, said at a Sept. 8 ground-breaking.
Sanjay Gupta, dean of the Broad College, said the project has been years in the making and will be the most artistic and leading-edge structure in the college’s 73 -year history.
In 2014, Eli and Edythe Broad offered a challenge grant aimed at helping to generate the $60 million necessary to ensure the pavilion is privately funded. To date, the university has received just over half of that. Fundraising is ongoing.
