About Our Facilities

The College of Business and Graduate School of Management are housed in the Business Administration Building located on the north side of the University campus (see map). Built in 1973, the original building encloses 75,000 square feet with classrooms, faculty and administrative offices, and computer laboratories that support the College’s academic programs. The building also provides offices for the Kent Regional Business Alliance.

Built into a hillside, the building offer two faces to the campus. Main entrances to the classroom are conveniently located on the first floor street level. Another entrance leads to the third floor and has immediate access to the Terrace Street parking area.

In 1993, the College expanded into a 25,000 square-foot addition, which added space for new computer labs, electronic classrooms, and faculty offices.
