Dr. E.J. and Margaret O'Brien Hall

Opened in 2023, O’Brien Hall is the home of the College of Business Administration, Graduate School of Management and the university’s innovation leadership programs.

This 109,000 square-foot four-story building features collaborative classroom, lab and study spaces, as well as an event space, café, faculty offices and dedicated areas for our nationally recognized Centers of Excellence. The first floor is designed to provide wraparound student support through centralized advising, a Student Success Center and a Business Career Center.

Since business isn’t done in a silo, this new facility emphasizes innovative, collaborative spaces where students are immersed in experiential learning and creative solutions. Here, future accountants team with aspiring marketers, and next-generation bankers map balance sheets with up-and-coming developers.
