Broad College adding modern Pavilion

Contemporary, high-tech addition to open in 2019

October 1, 2017

Just as the face of business education is changing, so too will the face and reputation of the Eli Broad College of Business when the construction of its new $60 million building opens in two years.

The Business College Pavilion will transform the way students learn and give the college a competitive edge among the nation’s top business schools.

Flexible classrooms, an expanded career center, high-tech systems, and a glass-walled atrium will afford panoramic views of the Red Cedar River.

The three-story, 100,000-square-foot addition will be adjacent to the Broad College Building and Eppley Center.

“The pavilion will be more than just a building. It will become a notable part of our university’s history,” Lou Anna K. Simon, MSU president, said at a Sept. 8 ground-breaking.

Sanjay Gupta, dean of the Broad College, said the project has been years in the making and will be the most artistic and leading-edge structure in the college’s 73 -year history.

In 2014, Eli and Edythe Broad offered a challenge grant aimed at helping to generate the $60 million necessary to ensure the pavilion is privately funded. To date, the university has received just over half of that. Fundraising is ongoing.
