Architecture & Sustainability

In the last decade, only one business school in the U.S. has been designed and built to occupy the very center of its university campus. That school is the Tepper School of Business.

The Tepper Quad is a new archetype for business education and ultimately business practice. Carnegie Mellon and the Tepper School are resetting the capabilities of business schools by introducing a new interconnected model of teaching, learning and innovation. Designed as an innovation hub, the 4.5 acre-site represents a $201 million investment in creating the business school of the future. The Tepper Quad spans 315,000 square feet and houses undergraduate and graduate programs alongside the Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship. Moore Ruble and Yudell architects have sculpted a flexible hub that interacts as an interconnected B-school partner alongside engineering, design, computer science, policy and the arts. The Tepper Quad's powerful proximity rapidly creates and capitalizes upon innovative partnerships between the Tepper School and the other top-ranked Carnegie Mellon colleges.
