"Teaching and learning in Rowling Hall will match the diversity and resourcefulness of today's most progressive organizations," said Thomas Gilligan, dean of the McCombs School. "Our graduates move into leadership roles within innovative workforces around the world, and our entire program, from faculty to curriculum and facilities, prepares them for that environment."
The building design enables flexible teaching approaches such as "flipped classrooms," in which students and teachers seamlessly move from lectures to team collaboration. Rowling Hall also expanded classroom availability allowing additional course offerings and providing numerous spaces for individual study sessions and group preparation.
"Rowling Hall will serve as a hub for graduate students to meet with peers, faculty, recruiters and members of the business community to openly exchange ideas, network and work in teams, just as they will in the business world," said Gilligan.
