Four Buildings.  One Olin.

Olin’s four buildings form a campus within the larger university where synergies across all business programs create natural interactions among faculty, students and staff.  Each program has a home base in one of the buildings, but shared public spaces and resources like the library or career center insure a constant flow and mix of community members throughout.  We think of it as four buildings, one Olin.

Each building provides a “center of gravity” for different programs.

  • Simon Hall – Undergraduate Program
  • Knight Center – Executive Programs and Conference Center
  • Knight Hall – Graduate Programs
  • Bauer Hall – Graduate Programs

In addition to popular gathering spots such as Simon Hall’s courtyard and lounges, Knight Hall and Bauer Hall house places to meet, eat, study, and socialize. Bauer Café, Starbucks, and the Frick Forum serve the Olin as well as the greater Danforth community. The Knight Center’s dining room also accepts reservations from students for the lunch buffet.
