As reported in the summer edition of CoxToday, SMU broke ground for the Cox School’s $140 million Renovation and Expansion Project in May. Construction work on the David B. Miller Business Quadrangle — the principal name for the Cox School’s renovated and expanded facilities — began days later.
SMU’s Office of Facilities Planning and Management reports that work is progressing on schedule. The completion date is targeted for May 2024, with a goal of being ready for the first classes to be held in the new building in August 2024. The building project is part of SMU Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow, the University’s $1.5 billion campaign for impact. The two-year project will expand the Cox School’s footprint by more than 30%, with the construction of four new buildings connecting the existing facilities and creating a cohesive space that supports collaboration for students and faculty in the Cox School, across campus and with the Dallas business community.
Bellow, take a close-up look at how work on the Miller Business Quadrangle is coming along so far.
