Northwestern University plans to build a new technology-enhanced facility on the Evanston, Illinois, campus for its Keller School of Management.
The university says the building will serve as the centerpiece of the Full Circle Campaign – a $600 million fundraising effort aimed at reinventing business education and enhancing Kellogg’s position as an elite MBA school.
Kellogg has a network of more than 71,000 alumni, including 12,000 international alumni across 126 countries.
The university says the new state-of-the-art facility on the Evanston campus will create an enhanced learning experience that integrates in-person and virtual education to bring together students, alumni, corporate leaders and faculty around the world. It will serve as the signature location for Kellogg’s Executive MBA and non-degree Executive Education programs.
Replacing the existing Allen Center, the new building will rise on the lakefront campus alongside Kellogg’s Global Hub. Built to support the most advanced technology, the new building will provide nearly double the number of available seats.
Construction of the new building is anticipated to begin in winter 2025, and the building is expected to be in use by fall 2027.
