Provide real-world environment to build entrepreneurial spirit
Create a destination building on campus

Design Highlights

The Poling Center for Global Learning and Leadership connects future business leaders and entrepreneurs with the same technology used in the real world, including wireless classrooms and interactive whiteboards. A major contribution from CP Federal Credit Union has resulted in a Trading Center Simulator where students have access to the same programs and systems used on Wall Street.

The 35,000-square-foot building connects students with the outside community. A café and a lounge area on the first floor act as a collaborative learning commons and provide high-end meeting spaces for local corporations to host conferences and training sessions.
