MEDIA RELEASE: 14 February 2017 – R00034

Brock University is giving the community a chance to leave its mark on the Goodman School of Business construction project.

A beam signing will be held in front of Schmon Tower Thursday, Feb. 16 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. where students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the Goodman School of Business can autograph what will be the final steel beam installed in the faculty’s $22-million expansion project.

Permanent marker in hand, community members will be able to leave their mark on the beam and include their names with those that will be embedded on the business school’s structural support for years to come.

There will be a separate opportunity after the Feb. 20-24 Reading Week to watch the signed beam being raised and installed in a topping out ceremony which will mark the completion of the construction project’s steel framework.

This $22-million Goodman School of Business expansion project will feature:
•    79,000 square feet of new, renovated and existing space
•    Six new and nine refreshed classrooms
•    An interview room with the latest technology
•    A Bloomberg research lab
•    A large new boardroom
•    Additional seminar rooms and faculty offices

For regular updates and photos from the project, visit the Goodman Expansion website.
