Another updated rendering for the Illitch School of Business.

Wayne State looks to future with groundbreaking for Mike Ilitch School of Business
By Blake Froling. July 20th, 2016. Crain's Detroit Business.



A groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for the Mike Ilitch School of Business at Wayne State University in Detroit coincided with the release of new renderings that appear to change the building’s design.

Ilitch, who owns Little Caesars and the Detroit Tigers and Red Wings, donated $40 million to the university for the business school, which will be located on Woodward Avenue in the shadows of Little Caesars Arena in The District Detroit. The gift was the largest in the history of the university and is one of the top 10 gifts ever to a public business school in the United States.

"All around us, the future is taking shape," M. Roy Wilson, president of Wayne State University, said at the ceremony. "In a city that some people wrote off as hopeless, we stand on a construction site, with all the noise and everything, that will be a monument to the entrepreneurial spirit that made Detroit great once and is making Detroit great again."

The Downtown Detroit Development Authority approved a Master Development Agreement earlier Wednesday, with full construction expected to begin later in the year on the 120,000-square-foot facility, according to a press release. A new rendering of the building was also released Wednesday to reflect some changes that were made to the original plans.

Wayne State spokesman did not immediately respond when asked to specify what in the design had changed.

The school is set to open in 2018 and will serve more than 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
