The University of Memphis is making a major investment in the future of business education with the launch of a $90 million renovation and expansion of its Fogelman College of Business and Economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
University leaders recently marked the start of the project with a ceremonial \u201cwall-breaking,\u201d signaling the beginning of a two-phase plan to modernize and grow the college\u2019s footprint on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first phase includes $30 million in upgrades to existing facilities at the corner of Central Avenue and Patterson Street. A second phase will focus on building a new, third facility to further expand the college\u2019s capacity and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the university, the State of Tennessee has committed $25 million toward the initial renovation, while efforts are underway to secure the remaining $60 million through a mix of state support and private donor funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
University officials say the project reflects a long-term commitment to strengthening business education in Memphis and preparing students to lead in a rapidly evolving global economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":33543,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"press_type":[],"class_list":["post-33542","news_press","type-news_press","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
