It houses 25 state of the art classrooms, a 375 seat lecture hall, 5 computer labs, and The Frederick S. Pardee Management Library. The building offers wireless internet throughout in addition to 4,000 wired dataports. Also in the building is a Breadwinners Deli and a fully-wired Starbucks Café, with data ports at many tables.
