Construction is underway on a new eight-building campus for the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), and progress remains “fast and furious”, according to a recent post on the Stanford GSB Admission Blog.
Originally slated to open in 2010, the Knight Management Center is now on track for an April 2011 completion date, according to Stanford Admissions. The new campus, all 360,000 square feet of it, features a flexible design intended to support a wide variety of teaching and learning methods and more collaboration and engagement with the Stanford campus at large.
The new campus will encompass 100,000 square feet more than the existing GSB facilities and will include more flexible teaching spaces for both larger and smaller class configurations. It will also include creative workspace for faculty to encourage collaboration, custom-designed space for the school’s executive education programs and new space for the school’s centers and related activities. The design of the new campus also incorporates smart building practices that use water and energy responsibly to dramatically and affordably reduce environmental impacts.
The new Knight Management Center was made possible by an unprecedented $105 million gift in 2006 by Nike Inc. founder and chairman Philip H. Knight ’62. The remaining funds needed for the $275 million project were to be raised before ground was broken in 2008.
