The 120,000-sq-ft Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics houses 16 classrooms, a 208-seat auditorium, 28 high-tech breakout rooms, administration space and an executive development suite.
The two-story Great Hall, with a 40-ft suspended sculpture of silver rods and metal discs to greet visitors, serves as a focal point of the facility. Its curtainwall system was constructed using traditional aluminum support framing and structural glulam support columns. The system covers 3,300 sq ft and includes 42 full-height glulam columns in addition to intermediate supports. The glulam curtainwall is suspended from a cantilevered roof structure and contributes to shading and glare-reduction within the space.
