Students and faculty of the Mitchell College of Business are now able to enjoy the recently constructed Joseph & Rebecca Mitchell Learning Resource 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 Joseph & Rebecca Mitchell 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.
