The W. P. Carey School of Business’ new state-of-the art facility, McCord Hall, is home to Arizona State University’s graduate, MBA and executive education programs. Consisting of instructional spaces, administrative offices, student and career services and social spaces, this monumental structure is designed to last a century on ASU’s Tempe campus. The structural slab and roof structure are a post-tensioned concrete that can be re-tensioned years from now to renew their strength. The building boasts numerous sustainable features, including a façade-specific shading system and a roof designed for a photovoltaic array that can provide electricity for buildings across the whole campus.
