Plaster Free Enterprise Center as the home of the College of Management. This new 26,540-sq.-ft facility is sited in a high-profile setting at the main campus entrance.

The three-story building includes the Finance Lab with capacity for 24, the Warrior Center serving military members’ needs, broadcasting center, 6 highly flexible small and large classrooms, dedicated collaboration rooms and spaces throughout, dean and administrative offices, faculty offices, serving kitchen for campus events and other support functions.
