AMHERST — The University of Massachusetts Amherst is continuing to expand the Isenberg School of Management.
The school will get a $62 million new building expansion called the Business Innovation Hub. UMass officials broke ground late last week, and the building is expected to be completed in September 2018.
The project will add 70,000 square feet of classrooms, labs and student spaces including an expanded career center, advising spaces and learning commons, as well as faculty offices, to the school’s existing facilities.
The new addition accompanies additional renovation of spaces in the original 1964 building and the 2002 addition named for Harold Alfond. The new and renovated facilities will combine to create a single unified campus for the Isenberg School of Management.
The project pairs Boston architecture firm Goody Clancy and Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) of New York and Denmark to complete the renovation and addition. Goody Clancy will serve as architect of record, programmer and consulting designer for the project, while BIG will serve as the design architect. Dimeo Construction is the contractor.
