\"\"<\/a>The University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business<\/strong> recently announced its plans to build a new, $155 million Graduate Business Education Center<\/a> slated to open in early 2017.<\/p>\n

The University of Texas System Board of Regents approved the proposal, which also includes renovations to the existing College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Business buildings, both of which will be devoted to undergraduate education once the new building opens, according to an article in McCombs Today<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our current space, we can\u2019t educate either graduate or undergraduate students the way we want to,\u201d says Eric Hirst<\/strong>, McCombs associate dean, who adds that space constraints makes offering specialized electives a challenge. \u201cMost importantly, we don\u2019t have the ability to share fully the intellectual capital of the school.\"<\/p>\n

In many ways, the new building design will feel like a functional office environment, which allows space for teamwork and large-group meetings, as well as rooms for negotiations and client presentations.<\/p>\n

The new building, which has not yet been designed, will incorporate state-of-the-art telecommunications capabilities to facilitate long-distance collaboration, perhaps even with Texas MBA students in the DFW, Houston, and Mexico City programs, McCombs Today<\/em> reveals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be able to do the kind of things we need to do to run a modern, top-quality MBA program and remain competitive with other top programs for the best students,\u201d Hirst says.<\/p>\n
