The Farmer School of Business Building

Yesterday, some Office of Admission Staff had the opportunity to take a tour of our brand-new Farmer School of Business Building here on Miami's campus. This building opened a few weeks ago, just in time for classes that started this fall! I had heard about the beauty and quality of this building, and after getting the official tour, I'm even more impressed with the facilities we have on campus available to all Miami students! Let's start at the beginning:

Here I am with some other Admission staffers, standing in front of the gates to the building. If you can't read it, that placard says "Knowledge is Power."

Next, we went into the main lobby of the building, were students can sit in plush, comfy chairs and study between classes. Or, this space can be reserved for student organizations to meet. Here you can see some Admission staff gathering in the lobby:

Next, we went around to various rooms in the building. We were extremely impressed with the center staircase, complete with gold railings!

One of the rooms in the building is designed for finance students to be able to practice stock trading. This room is equipped with a ticker that scrolls stock information from the New York Stock Exchange. Here I am under it!

This building also has a 400-seat auditorium, breakout rooms, almost 200 faculty offices, a Center for Business Excellence for all student services, a grab-and-go cafe, and of course, CLASSROOMS!!!

This building is hoping to be one of the first buildings in Ohio and definitely the first on our campus to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification. For more information on this building and the entire Farmer School of Business, visit www.muohio.edu/fsb.
