"It is vitally important that the critical support services our students need are as accessible as possible,” said Broad College of Business Dean Sanjay Gupta. “We’ve made a commitment to align our facilities to promote student success, and this investment will deliver on that for years to come.”

The building will be restructured to create a space for undergraduate advising and academic support resources, including computer labs.

The board’s next meeting is Feb. 14.
