Lerner Opens New Facility for MBA Programs
The Alfred Lerner College of Business at the University of Delaware, has opened its new home for MBA students. The new facility is located at One South Main Street on the UD campus. It will serve as a hub for activity and resources for MBA students, faculty and staff. The University hopes that the new facility and its technology will help to encourage and facilitate collaborative learning between students and faculty.
The construction for Lerner College also includes the front of Purnell Hall, one of the college’s main buildings. The extension now has more than double the space available for the JPMorgan Chase Innovation Center, the site that is home to a collaboration with UD’s Lerner College, the College of Engineering and JPMorgan Chase. Other changes to Purnell Hall include additional room on the second, third and fourth floors for 20 faculty offices and workspace for 16 graduate students; offices to house the Institute for Financial Services Analytics and students in the doctoral program in Financial Services Analytics as well as conference rooms.
