MORE: Tulane University has begun a major expansion of the A. B. Freeman School of Business to meet surging enrollment, enhance industry-leading programming and provide new, state-of-the-art learning spaces for the next generation of business students. Crews are renovating about 40,000 square feet of existing space and building an approximately 45,000 square-foot, four-story addition. The expansion will transform the student experience at the Freeman School with advanced, flexible classrooms; expanded breakout rooms for collaborative learning; a new financial analysis lab; a larger, modernized Career Management Center; and incubator space for student startups within a new home for the Lepage Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Construction is expected to be completed by early 2018.
