CAMPUS
Alumni help design new Business building
JOSE LUIS MILETICH editor@kansan.com
A number of former and current University graduate students will soon begin designing and building the University's new business school after finalizing contractual details.
Two of the primary team leaders for the project are alumni.
The School of Business will be upgrading to a new building soon. Two architectural firms have been chosen to design a $60 billion building that will be located on Naismith Drive across the street from Allen Fieldhouse.

"It's a pretty amazing opportunity. It's a chance to make a difference on the campus that I've lived on and grown to love over the years," Broz said. "To build a building that not only responds to the current economic situation but also all the ups and downs that happen in business, it's a very responsible project to be part

The two firms were recently awarded the contract to build the new business school by a University committee who chose Gensler and GWH over four other major companies.
The University identified a need for more space not just in the business school but also in other departments.
Gensler's reputation for innovation and efficient use of space when designing buildings for academic use is an important factor in the committee's decision.
of Business Dean Neeli Bendapudi explained the choice.
The School
"The current business facility cannot accommodate

the growth of the program. We currently aren't able to accept all the high-quality students who want to study business at KU", Bendapudi said. "The new building will allow us to adapt to the rapidly changing business landscape — including recruiting and retaining top faculty,
staff and students."
Architect and Director of Design and Construction Management Jim Modig said that the final contract details should be worked out soon, and the teams will commence their work shortly thereafter.
"There aren't very many projects on campus that we don't have KU alumni involved. 1 think they'll bring a sense of pride and ownership," Modig said. "We look for the best and not all the time do
we end up with KU grads, so this is a unique opportunity for these folks to step up to the plate."
