Title: Marquette building $70m business school building
Post by: 🏀 on January 29, 2020, 04:44:28 PM: Marquette University plans to build a new $70 million home for its College of Business Administration and innovation leadership programs at the former site of McCormick Hall, president Michael Lovell announced Wednesday.

The new academic building is planned near the corner of North 16th Street and Wisconsin Avenue, where the former dormitory stood until it was razed in the fall.

Lovell made the announcement during his annual presidential address.

The university has raised $44 million for the project over the past 18 months, he said. It is being funded primarily through donations of alumni, parents and other supporters.

Marquette plans to break ground in fall 2021. A design process involving faculty, staff and students will begin soon and help determine the building’s square footage and the number of floors, a university spokesperson said.

It’s the latest of several new building projects on the university’s campus in recent years, including a new $18.5 million Physician’s Assistant Studies Building, a $24 million Athletic and Human Performance Research Center and an $108 million residence hall on the northwest end of campus.

A new business school has been in the works for several years, and was included in the university’s Campus Master Plan in 2016. The business school has been housed in Straz Hall, located at 1225 W. Wisconsin Ave., for the past 35 years.

“Marquette Business has a long history of developing ethical, Jesuit-educated leaders who live and work in Milwaukee and the top financial hubs across the world,” Lovell said. “Through innovative design features and flexible learning spaces, our newest academic facility will help foster creative thinking for students from all disciplines.”

In addition to the College of Business Administration, the facility will house innovation leadership programs, which will build on Marquette’s existing efforts, such as the Kohler Center for Entrepreneurship in the 707 Hub, the Women’s Innovation Network, the Athletic and Human Performance Research Center and several colleges, the university said.

The Biz Aders and the Engineers are better equipped to insult each other this way.

I remember that was the plan also. New Biz school where the rec center is now, new rec center where McCormick was. Somebody developed a problem with that along the way....don't know details.

If you look at traffic flows, etc it makes a lot of sense. They looked at this approach for.about 2 years so they vetted it forward and backwards. Hopefully they release the internal justification one of these days because it makes a lot of sense

So this means Camping World guy won out....correct? Didn't he say money comes if you put it there and the Master Plan had it elsewhere? Money talks? Or am I misremembering?
