Western Kentucky University will break ground in summer of 2023 on a new home for the Gordon Ford College of Business in Bowling Green. Designed by Gensler to promote student-faculty interaction, the 113,000-sf building will transform undergraduate and graduate business education in the region and fulfill an important component of WKU’s campus master plan. The open and collaborative structure will include a three-story atrium, 21 technology-rich classrooms, an auditorium, a virtual reality suite, and a trading lab with access to Bloomberg Terminals. Adaptable instructional venues will foster active, experiential learning and the evolution of innovative pedagogies. Supported by $74.4 million in state funding, the development will also include team project rooms, a business hub, a student success center, and a café. Occupancy is expected in fall of 2025.
