An Ambitious Journey

Serving our students and housing our faculty, staff, and administrators had long been a challenge for the UCR School of Business. Our former home base, Anderson Hall, is a beautiful and historic 1917 Mission-style building, established as the Citrus Experiment Station for state-funded agricultural research. While beloved by so many, the School of Business outgrew Anderson Hall many years ago.

An ambitious years-long journey—planning, drawing, and fine-tuning—is now a reality. Ground was broken in April 2023, and the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held with students, alumni, donors, community members, faculty, staff, and campus leadership on October 18, 2024. With this award-winning, state-of-the-art building, we now have a three-building complex that houses our programs, faculty, and classes.

An Engaging Business Hub for Students and the Inland Empire Community

We knew that when we built a new home for the School of Business, easy engagement, a healthy academic environment, and a sense of empowerment—all central to our Strategic Plan—were paramount. Integral to these goals was a building designed to adapt to uses and technology yet unknown. That included indoor and outdoor in-person learning, studying, event and meeting spaces, as well as state-of-the-art technology for hybrid learning.

Our LEED Platinum-certified building has flex spaces for ever-changing needs to more efficiently serve our students, support faculty research, and engage with business leaders and community members from across the region.
