BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A new state-of-the-art building housing the latest in business technology is coming to the campus of Western Kentucky University.
Plans for the new 113,000 square foot Gordon Ford College of Business have been unveiled.
The $74 million project will be built on the former site of Tate Page Hall and will feature a modern, open space that supports active learning and a strong community.
“With Grise, the faculty and staff have done a great job of interacting with students and making them feel a part of the college,” said Christopher Shook, dean of WKU’s College of Business. “But what this building will do is give them a physical place to belong. And I hope so. I’m selfish. I want the students to come in in the morning and I don’t want them to leave until the evening.
The university said the project is scheduled to break ground this summer and is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2025.
