New Academic Building
The first building to be constructed through this campaign will be an academic facility west of White Hall. It will house the McAfee School of Business and the departments of engineering and computer science. The building will provide a place where students are equipped with the finest in academic preparation. It will be a place designed for business and innovation, for the creation and development of ideas, concepts, and products that make a difference in society and that make people's lives better, both in our country and around the world.
The physical beauty of this facility will reflect the beauty of our Creator, the one who allowed for Union's establishment, the one who sustains Union in the present, and the one who will guide our steps and provide for us in the future. Yes, a new building is expensive. But the McAfee School of Business has outgrown its current space in the Blasingame Academic Complex. With a lead gift already committed to cover half the facility's cost, we believe this project is certainly possible and definitely needed.
