Johnson Hall
Built in 1970, Johnson Hall is home to the College of Business. It will undergo a complete renovation, including updating the building’s systems and HVAC equipment and reallocating its space utilization for classrooms, labs, student collaboration, and office spaces.
The design will expand the Heidtke Trading Room, Bloomberg Suite, and the IT Forensics Lab, making those technology-focused spaces focal points for the new Johnson Hall. A new behavioral research lab will be created to enhance student and faculty research collaboration.
A new Peachtree Avenue entrance will enhance accessibility and add new square footage to the original footprint. The building’s west side will receive a refresh with the addition of a new entrance and staircase, providing external access to all floors.
The remodeling project is slated for completion in the late fall of 2026.
“The newly designed Johnson Hall is configured to accommodate how students learn today while providing flexibility for future growth,” said Thomas Payne, dean of the College of Business. “Spaces are included in the design to provide students opportunities for collaboration, group presentations, and experiential learning.”
Foundation Hall
As Johnson Hall is being renovated, Foundation Hall is the temporary home of the College
of Business.
As in Johnson Hall, CoB faculty and staff will continue to serve students with the same high-quality care, effort, and attention. Students will still have access to CoB resources, including the Bloomberg lab, student collaboration stations, Professional Readiness and Leadership, and faculty office hours. Though moving all faculty, staff, students, and classes may be uncomfortable for an abbreviated time, the College of Business will remain united and together on campus, able to make a home in a building with a history of serving students well.
