Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management has announced its plans this week to begin construction on its 410,000 square feet new building in early 2014, to be completed late 2016. The new building will become the home of Kellogg’s full-time MBA program along with the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Economics. To be located on the Evanston lakefront campus of Northwestern University, the building aims to be a state-of-the-art global hub of business innovation that will redesign management education.
The building has been designed by Canadian company KPMB Architects, who won the momentous job after competing in a six-month long competition. Founding partner of the company, Bruce Kuwabara addressed the future of business innovation; “You don’t want to be just another business school. You want to breach the paradigm, and that’s what Kellogg has done.”
As part of Kellogg’s seven year plan for transformation, the new building will be five stories high and hold unique, contemporary classrooms, seminar rooms and gathering spaces. The design of the lecture-style classrooms is reconfigurable to better suit larger seminars and offices can work as study rooms. An impressive 6,600 square foot conservatory spanning two floors will look out over the lakefront and will be used to host business leaders for dinners, speeches and presentations.
