"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a lasting impact. Just as its alumni must do in the business world, the GSB must lead the way and set new standards. The new campus will support new methods of teaching management and leadership while also inviting collaboration from colleagues across Stanford."
— Philip H. Knight, MBA '62 Founder and Chairman, NIKE Inc.
The Knight Management Center: Creating an Environment of Collaboration
The Graduate School of Business is dedicated to reinventing management education. To succeed we need a new, more flexible campus to support a wider variety of teaching and learning methods and to foster more collaboration and engagement with the Stanford campus at large. An unprecedented gift from Philip H. Knight, MBA '62, has paved the way for creating the new Knight Management Center.
Our new campus will feature:
- More flexible teaching spaces for both larger and smaller classes in configurations to support a variety of teaching styles and integrate instructional technology,
- A state-of-the-art auditorium large enough for the entire student body and to host important events,
- Welcoming casual and academic space for students, visitors, and the Stanford community at large,
- Creative workspace for faculty to encourage collaboration,
- New space to house our centers and host their activities, and
- Custom-designed space to expand and support our executive education programs.
Located on Serra Street across from the Schwab Residential Center, the new campus will support today's GSB community and provide us with space to grow.
