Rochester Institute of Technology's Saunders College of Business in Rochester, N.Y., is expanding Max Lowenthal Hall.
The $19 million expansion will almost double the size of the business college, adding more than 35,000 square feet, the Institute says in a news release.
The additional space will provide student team rooms, applied research and case analysis labs, an event space and reception hall, an auditorium, a café, and outdoor spaces. Existing classrooms will also be renovated in support of innovative and student-centered pedagogy.
Originally designed by Robert Macon, Max Lowenthal Hall was built in the late 1970s. The design of the expansion seeks to honor the architectural language of the existing building, while reinterpreting materials to present them in a more modern way.
The expansion is scheduled be completed in fall 2023.
LaBella Associates designed the facility.
