MEDIA ADVISORY
The University of Colorado at Boulder Leeds School of Business will open its newly expanded and renovated home, the Koelbel Building, to media on Monday, Aug. 6.
Reporters and photographers are invited to tour the building with Leeds School Dean Dennis A. Ahlburg at 10:30 a.m. The tour will start in the building's Centers Board Room, located on the first floor off the main entrance on the south side of Koebel Building facing Regent Drive.
Ahlburg will discuss the advantages of the new building for Leeds School students and the impact the school already has experienced in student recruitment.
The Koelbel Building opens Monday for faculty and staff to move into their offices. Construction of the $38-million Leeds School expansion and renovation began in spring 2006. The building is named in honor of the Koelbel family, leaders in the Colorado real estate industry.
The expansion adds 65,000 square feet to the existing 100,000-square-foot building. The renovated building includes new MBA and undergraduate classrooms, student "team rooms," offices and an "information commons" attached to the renovated business library.
Media are invited to the tour, which is not open to the public. The Koelbel Building is located on Regent Drive on the CU-Boulder campus. Visitor parking is available in the lot in front of the main entrance. A map is available at leeds.colorado.edu/visit.
