Rendering of The Mike Ilitch School of Business<\/p><\/div>\n

Detroit<\/strong>\u2014The Mike Ilitch School of Business, part of Wayne State University<\/a>, has broken ground in District Detroit<\/a>. The sleek, smart new building will complete the string of modern redevelopments on Woodward Avenue. Mike and Marian Ilitch donated $40 million toward the project, which is scheduled for completion in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new home for our business school will create a beautiful and accessible gateway connecting Midtown and downtown Detroit for students, faculty and the community alike. It\u2019s a fitting and elegant design for a world-class business school made possible by entrepreneurs who throughout their career have been dedicated to opening up a world of opportunities for the people of Detroit,\u201d Roy Wilson, president at Wayne State University, said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n

Detroit-based architectural firm Smith Group JJR<\/a> created the updated design for the construction, while the Christman-Brinker joint venture, also based in Motor City, serves as construction manager for the project. This all falls under the \u201cMichigan Made, Detroit Built\u201d umbrella covering the District Detroit projects.<\/p>\n

The 120,000-square-foot Mike Ilitch School of Business will boast open collaboration spaces, student support facilities, a conference learning center, lab space, classrooms and offices. The development will make full use of its location and feature several innovative street level, sidewalk destinations, such as a full trading floor, an open air classroom, business incubator pop-up and corner caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The new institution will serve more than 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students and offer flexible teaching and modern spaces. The coursework will include sports and entertainment management.<\/p>\n

Michael and Marian Ilitch are prominent entrepreneurs and philanthropists based in southeast Michigan. Their business portfolio includes Little Caesars<\/a>, the Detroit Red Wings, the Detroit Tigers, Olympia Entertainment, Blue Line Foodservice Distribution and Champion Foods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
