The 50,000-sf building was designed by Ellerbe Becket and is slated for occupancy in the fall of 2006. It will serve as the School of Management’s education and research base and will include state-of-the-art networking and videoconferencing facilities.

The School will offer a variety of full-time, part-time and executive programs leading to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. A PhD program linked to faculty members’ research also will be offered. The school also will offer joint degree programs with UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering, School of Medicine, and Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies.

Ellerbe Becket’s Minneapolis office is designing the school, which welcomed its first class of students in the fall of 2004.

Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland-College Park.
