Recognizing the College of Business & Economics as a centerpiece of the UW-Whitewater campus, the new building will present an image and environment that acknowledges the stature and extraordinary quality and accomplishments of one of the finest regional comprehensive business programs in the country. Enabling state-of-the-art education opportunities for students and friends of the university and providing the high-quality setting that is essential for a first-rate business program today, it will enhance the university’s ability to recruit and retain top quality faculty and students.

At 180,000 square feet, the new facility is more than twice as large as the current one, (Carlson Hall is approx. 77,000 square feet) and will house the instructional, academic support and community service programs for the college. Adding 50 percent more classroom space, it will also bring campus units together and supply the necessary spaces and atmosphere to facilitate communication, collaboration, joint learning and interaction among students, faculty, alumni and industry partners.

Outreach is also a focus of the new building, and it will invite businesses throughout the region to collaborate with the College of Business & Economics in the education of students, in research and on matters directly relevant to their businesses. It will build on the work of existing outstanding outreach units and initiatives and expand on the college’s role as a business partner while also providing the technology and space platform to increase the college’s ability to partner with US and international businesses effectively via a variety of distance formats.
