Photos by Tom Wolf

During the last few semester breaks, the hallowed halls of the School of Management got more than a fresh coat of paint.

With a new brand platform focused on the bold attributes of our students, and a strategic plan taking the school in new directions, it was time for an updated look in the surrounding environment that was consistent with that brand and befitting a world-class business school. If you haven’t visited lately, stop by. Until then, here are some photos to give you a preview.

Zoom image: Straight ahead you’ll find a wall featuring a large welcome screen (thanks to the School of Management Alumni Association for the inspiration and funding). Flanking the big screen are four smaller screens with digital announcements, a live news feed, reputational pride points and the ever important weather and time.
