As of May 31, 2025A Growing Footprint
A new era has arrived on the Breeden Commerce Grounds with the advent of a sparkling interconnected hub for Commerce students, faculty, and staff. In April 2025, McIntire celebrated the grand opening of Shumway Hall, as well as the completed renovation of the adjoining Cobb Hall. The Commerce Complex includes the new building, McIntire’s current home of Rouss & Robertson Halls, a reimagined Cobb Hall, and a host of inviting outdoor gathering spaces.
An Inspired Space
As instruction evolves from lecture-based learning to technologically interactive classes, new labs and flexible classroom spaces will allow students to engage in hands-on discovery. We will develop spaces that mirror the modern global marketplace and that are able to accommodate rapid reconfiguration and changes in business education. The student-centric building design of the new facility will marry traditional and contemporary architecture and facilitate the co-location of all student-facing offices.
The Gateway to Grounds
The Commerce Complex will create a unique point of connection to the Lawn from the revitalized Brandon Avenue district—soon to be a new and vibrant hub of student life. The project is underscored by a commitment to inclusivity. The spaces have been intentionally designed to provide a welcoming and inviting commuter route to Grounds.
