College of Business Breaks Ground on New Addition

UCO continues to adapt to the evolving needs of the student population with the expansion of its existing Business building through the UCO Foundation and a generous donation from UCO alumnus Ronald Armstrong.

Central broke ground on the Business building addition at a ceremonial groundbreaking, marking the beginning of construction on an atrium and student enrichment addition designed to enhance student experiences and learning opportunities.

The 7,700-square-foot building addition, scheduled to open in spring 2026, will transform the space to better serve College of Business students, featuring a new student lounge with a fireplace, a recreation area, study rooms and a state-of-the-art golf simulator room for the PGA Professional Golf Management program.
