George Mason University is committed to providing students with a transformative education and being an economic engine for the region. Nowhere is that more evident than in the business school. We are a large school, our graduates are in high demand and want to stay in the region, and the educational experience we are offering is highly valued. It is important to build our capabilities in Fairfax, which is the home of our undergraduate programs where we educate the region’s workforce.
“Mason is special. We have critical mass. We have momentum. We’re entrepreneurial, and so are our students. We’re cross-disciplinary; we break down silos. This building will create powerful new connections to the entire region’s business community.”

“I often felt that having a central home for both full-time on-campus students as well as part-time evening students would have added immeasurably to the overall experience that Mason’s School of Business provides its students. I firmly believe that businesses and local and Federal government entities will also see this as one more significant contribution that the Business School provides to addressing and solving critical challenges—something that is needed now more than ever.”
