Foster Partners Will Design New Yale School of Management Campus
The architectural firm Foster + Partners, led by Chairman Norman Foster, has been selected to design the new Yale School of Management campus, Yale President Richard C. Levin has announced.

The new campus will be located on a 4.25 - acre site on the east side of Whitney Avenue at the Sachem Street intersection.

Construction of the 230,000 square-foot building, which is more than double the current Yale School of Management footprint of approximately 110,000 square feet, is expected to be completed by the fall of 2011.

"The genius of Lord Norman Foster is evident in urban landscapes around the world, from the Hearst Tower in New York to the airport in Beijing.

We are honored that an architect of his creativity and breadth will leave a lasting legacy on the Yale campus and we are confident that in its new home, the Yale School of Management will continue to attract and educate leaders of business and society for generations to come," said President Levin.

The new complex will house state of the art classrooms, faculty offices, the School's academic centers and student and community spaces.
