Facilities

The Wisconsin MBA programs moved into a new $40.5 million east wing of Grainger Hall in fall 2008.

The east wing is devoted entirely to MBA education at the Wisconsin School of Business and offers state of the art classrooms and technology and expanded lounge and work space for our Executive MBA students.

Due to its strong reputation, the Executive MBA program draws participants from far beyond the Madison area. Out-of-town students have the option of outstanding overnight private accommodations in the Fluno Center for Executive Education.

Located only two blocks from Grainger Hall, the Fluno Center is a $24 million, eight-floor facility combining state-of-the-art technology with a relaxed residential setting. Its 100 executive residence rooms provide program participants with convenient and comfortable overnight accommodations.

Among Fluno Center amenities of particular value to executives: each residence room includes a desktop computer with standard office applications and high-speed Internet access for web browsing, email and file downloads. Each room includes an additional Internet-enabled Ethernet data jack and two-line phone for simultaneous dial-up connectivity during voice calls. Public areas throughout the building allow wired and wireless Internet access using laptop or notebook computers. The cost of overnight stays in the Fluno Center is partially subsidized by the School of Business.

Both in-town and out-of-town Executive MBA students gather in the Fluno Center’s eighth-floor study pub for informal networking.
