Powering a 55,000 Square Foot Business School Transformation
Concordia College transformed its former Grant Center dining facility into the new Offutt School of Business, creating a modern 55,000 square foot academic building designed to prepare students for today’s global business environment. The $16.2 million renovation included a complete building overhaul and the addition of a new floor, converting an aging facility into a collaborative educational hub.
Designed to promote innovation, critical thinking, and responsible leadership, the new facility provides students with modern learning spaces while strengthening connections between the college and the regional business community.
