The $140 million David B. Miller Business Quadrangle opened for business on August 26, 2024, marking a new era at ��Ʒ������ Cox. Although parts of the exterior were still being tweaked, the interior was ready for the first day of classes.

Four new buildings, or wings, connect the original three anchor buildings into one large, cohesive space. With a commons area, a courtyard and a plaza, the Miller Quad offers 32% more space than the Cox School’s original three buildings. The design encourages collaboration and camaraderie among students and faculty, offering myriad places to study, walk and talk, take a coffee break, or have a meal on-site.

On day one, staff members handed out maps to help everyone find their way around. Within days of moving into their new home, students were settled in, using every available space in this new “9-to-9” environment. 

We wanted our new building to emulate the type of corporate campuses that await many of our students after graduation.

“It’s gratifying to see our ideas become reality,” says Matthew Myers, dean of the Cox School of Business. “Before we began designing this building, we visited several other business schools and weighed a lot of factors—among them, we wanted our new building to emulate the type of corporate campuses that await many of our students after graduation. 

“More critically, we wanted our new building to be a place where students would feel connected—to each other and ��Ʒ������ Cox. Walking down any hall in the Miller Quad or looking out at the Arnold Commons, we see that’s exactly what’s happening. Fortunately for all of us, our donors supported our vision, and we are thankful. Without their foresight and generosity, none of this would be possible.”
