Giving to Kellogg

A gateway to excellence

Our visionary new building will advance our ability to create new ways to deliver knowledge and experiences to students across programs. Connected to the Global Hub by a tunnel, it will serve all our students and create a Kellogg campus in Evanston, strengthening synergies across our programs and Northwestern.

A new way to deliver breakthrough business education

This structure is much more than a physical space. It is the enabler of our strategic vision to reinvent business education.

Conceived to support state-of-the-art technology and to adapt as that technology evolves, this facility will position Kellogg as a trailblazer in hybrid instruction for all our MBA programs and for our Executive Education programming, creating an environment where participants from around the world can seamlessly engage.

The new building will deliver unprecedented experiences for students, faculty, thought leaders and the global business community. Dynamic learning spaces will inspire innovation and collaboration in the way education is delivered.

As a gateway to the Northwestern campus and a laboratory for learning, the new building will advance new teaching methodologies with the potential to influence undergraduate and graduate teaching across the university and beyond.

“Our design celebrates the beauty of the lakefront and enriches the Kellogg campus at the university. We achieve this by shaping the building to provide sweeping lake views and complementing the sculptural form and light-reflecting material of the Global Hub while still relating to the limestone of the earlier campus buildings. Our concept is based on connections to nature that promote well-being by incorporating natural materials and organic patterns and textures throughout the interior spaces, combined with cutting-edge dynamic learning and collaboration environments that further the mission and reach of Kellogg.”
