Through flexible classrooms; new technology; intentionally designed areas for team projects; spaces designed to emulate real-world working environments; and more, the new 113,000-square-foot, modern College of Business building is set to transform the way we teach, how we support students and how we prepare them for careers.

Located on the space formerly occupied by Tate Page Hall, the new Gordon Ford College of Business building will:

• Better equip and prepare students
• Serve as a point of pride for the WKU Community and the Commonwealth
• Support the pedagogies, teaching and research of the faculty and staff and GFCB’s ongoing enrollment growth, while serving as the destination of choice for business education
• Support and enhance the regional business community
• Encourage innovation, invention, creativity, and active learning
• Provide flexible classrooms, new technology, intentionally designed areas for team projects, spaces designed to emulate real-world working environment
• Support GFCB’s mission to prepare the next generations of business professionals through resources such as a virtual reality simulation space, trading lab with access to Bloomberg Terminals, a one-stop-shop Student Success Center, and a Center for Financial Success
• Transform the way we teach, how we support young people, and how we prepare them for careers
• Celebrate and modernize 150 years of business education in the region

The project is scheduled to break ground this summer and be completed in the fall of 2025.
