Building our future

As the momentum of the Tippie College of Business continues to grow, we're excited to embark on a new phase in our journey: a building renovation and expansion campaign. This ambitious project enlarges the footprint of the Pappajohn Business Building (PBB) into a unified "business campus" by incorporating and renovating the historic Gilmore Hall.

In a space as ambitious as the students we serve, we will reimagine our learning environments and create points of connection for students and faculty alike. Our new campus will facilitate our real-world educational approach by making spaces for collaborative capstone courses, communications labs, industry partnerships, and more.
