Students and faculty of the Mitchell College of Business are now able to enjoy the recently constructed Learning Resources Center .  This addition to the Mitchell College of Business’ main building is a 15,300 square foot, state of the art facility built at a cost of $2.4 million.  It houses the Business Library, the John B. Saint Financial Analysis Center which replicates a trading floor at a brokerage house as well as faculty offices for the Department of Accounting.

The Business Library offers the MCOB students a congenial place to study, undertake research and collaborate on group projects.  Ample space and a variety of seating configurations provide a comfortable atmosphere for individual study and group work.  The reading area accommodates up to 125 students; the computer lab seats 33 and 5 group study rooms offer an additional 30 seats.  The combination of business research services, a financial analysis center, and a business computer lab in the same facility provide seamless preparation for future business leaders to work in an ever increasing technological environment.

The Learning Resource Center was built with funds generously provided from a variety of sources.  For the first-time in University history, an all-alumni fund-raising committee led the effort to raise money for the new building.  The private gifts of $600,000 resulted as a response to a $500,000 challenge gift from businessman and philanthropist Abraham Mitchell.  Eight hundred thousand in federal funds were secured by U.S. Senator Richard Shelby and $500,000 from University resources.

You can help pave the way to the new Learning Resource Center by purchasing a brick paver! The brick paved area, MCOB Alumni Plaza, creates an excellent place for students and visitors to gather as well as a beautiful path from the existing facility into the new MCOB Learning Resource Center!
