You might have noticed some new faces along the walls of Knight Hall and Bauer Hall the past few weeks. Portraits of generous donors whose names grace our buildings, classrooms, and meeting spaces have been hung to honor their commitment to Olin and the University.

Take a moment to read these words and the bios of these great benefactors. photo 2

 

We are all beneficiaries of their foresight, hard work, and determination that future generations will have these halls and classrooms to carry on our tradition of excellence in business education.

On March 17, the new Knight Hall and Bauer Hall will be open for business! To celebrate the first day of classes in the new buildings, we’re having an all-day Housewarming Party starting with coffee and donuts in the morning, green cupcakes and refreshments in the afternoon, and a few surprises throughout the day to welcome the Olin community to our expanded home.

Olin is doubling its footprint on the Danforth Campus with this expansion project. Our community will share four buildings to pursue our passions for teaching, learning, and research. We will have new spaces to collaborate, innovate, celebrate, and bring us together as members of one united Olin.

Renovations of Simon Hall will begin this summer and create a spacious new home for the Undergraduate Programs office, lounge, student clubs, and activities.  All programs will continue to have classes in Simon Hall, as well as in the new buildings. These expanded facilities are a much-needed necessity and welcome gift from generous benefactors.

I am looking forward to showing you the new classrooms, study rooms, and innovative spaces. In the meantime, enjoy this Sneak Preview video with your guides: Harry Bolson, BSBA ’14, Katy Robbins, SMP ’14, Geoffry Nykin, MBA ’15.

Find out how to book a room or cater an event on the new General Services section of CampusGroups. If you can’t find answers there, send questions to: 4Buildings@olin.wustl.edu.

Check the blog, Facebook, and Twitter for more videos and updates in the coming days and weeks.

Have a safe and restful spring break!




Get a sneak peek inside Olin’s two new towers that anchor the business school’s expansion project. The north tower will welcome visitors from Throop Drive to the new Knight Hall and the south tower rises above Mudd Field between the entrance to Bauer Hall and the new Atrium. Frank Freeman is our tour guide in this installment of our Hard Hat video series.




The generosity of George and Carol Bauer is forever etched in stone at the entrance to the new building that bears their name. The stone archway facing Mudd Field will be one of several gateways to the Olin complex currently under construction.

George and Carol Bauer

A $10 million gift from George and Carol Bauer through the Bauer Foundation and a $15 million bequest from Charles F. and Joanne Knight, provided the lead gifts for the 175,000 square foot project.

Bauer Hall and Knight Hall will be united by a soaring glass atrium and provide much needed classroom, office, and meeting space for the business school. The complex will include a 300-seat auditorium, an amphitheater-like Forum, innovative learning labs, and a cafe among other unique features.

The design of the business school complex is a collaboration among two architectural firms, Moore Ruble Yudell, architect-of-record, and Mackey Mitchell Architects, associate architect, and two mechanical engineering firms, Buro Happold and William Tao & Associates. Tarlton Corp. is the construction manager.

Read more about the new buildings on the Building Olin website.

 




Neither rain, nor snow or sub-freezing temperatures can deter the intrepid construction workers building Olin’s new Bauer Hall and Knight Hall on the Danforth Campus.

As you can see, one side of the roof is on Bauer Hall facing Simon Hall across Mudd Field to the south. The five-story, 90 million dollar expansion project is on schedule and projected to be complete by May 2014.
