A Business School Reflecting the 21st Century

The $10 million donation from the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation allows SLCC to reinvent its business building and expand its academic business programs. With this generous gift came the renaming of the business school to the Gail Miller School of Business and the business building’s renaming to the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building.

Targeted to be completed by spring 2026, the building transformation will expand the current space by 18,900 square feet to include an open atrium, an expanded auditorium, modernized conference rooms and kickstarter business incubation space.

This is a huge opportunity to revamp the learning environment head to toe, top to bottom, and put students in spaces that resemble the world of work now and in the future.

With the modernization, the school will kick-off a new Business Scholars Program where students create projects that benefit the local community. The school’s programming will also focus on entrepreneurship and service-based learning opportunities with non-profit organizations.

“This is a huge opportunity to revamp the learning environment head to toe, top to bottom, and put students in spaces that resemble the world of work now and in the future,” says Dennis Bromley, dean of the business school. “I’m really excited about the freshness of this new space and its ability to stimulate creativity and collaboration through its design."
