Drexel University
Bennett S. LeBow College of Business
Philadelphia, PA

The Leonard Pearlstein Business Learning Center, adjacent to Matheson Hall which houses the LeBow College of Business, is an $8 million project that is now complete. The Business Learning Center features a multilevel glass enclosed bridge connecting the two buildings and a brick and glass façade facing Market Street.

One enters the lobby and is greeted by two large flat panel displays. They display the latest stock prices and financial information. Adjacent to the displays are two interactive screens that display classroom and office locations in the building.

RJC Designs Inc. based the design and infrastructure on current needs with a continued growth vision of development and implementation of cutting-edge technology.

The first floor will also contain two Case Study rooms that will be capable of recording student presentations.

The second floor will have four computer classrooms for software training.

The third floor has four interactive boardrooms and four observation rooms. The four Moot Boardrooms are capable of two-way videoconferencing and a display of every student's computer both in-room and in the videoconference. The four observation rooms are capable of monitoring any of the four Moot Boardrooms.

The fourth floor houses two additional interactive boardrooms, a multi-purpose room, and offices.
