New Boise State Business Building Beginning to Take Shape

When construction began on the new Business Building at Boise State, I showed pictures and did a story about the project, which will elevate an already-strong and well-respected Business School at Boise State to a new level in terms of capability and respect.

The facility will be the Gateway to the campus from the West side, perfectly situated at the corner of Capitol Boulevard and it's going to be gigantic--four stories tall and 118,000 square feet and at a cost of $37 million.

Of course, Boise State's business college already holds the gold standard of accreditation.  It is included in the four percent of all business programs in the world and 25 percent of business programs in the United States that have AACSB accreditation.  Boise State's business school was honored by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation's Best Undergraduate Business Programs in 2011. 

As enrollment in Boise State's graduate programs is expected to double over the next ten years, the university wants to build graduate and undergraduate programs that are recognized nationally for their quality and innovation and to create internationally-renowned centers of excellence. 

I'll continue to provide details and photos as construction continues on this exciting development and new facility.
