The University of Montevallo has opened their new 10,000-square-foot facility adding space for the Michael E. Stephens College of Business.

The new home for the College of Business is a state-of-the-art and technology-rich facility. It features a large student commons and event space to facilitate interactions between students, faculty and the business community. Two additional technology-enhanced classrooms, student team study rooms, professional development spaces and a case presentation boardroom add much-needed expansion spaces for the college.

The vision was to create a space for the students and faculty of the Stephens College of Business that reflects the world-class education the college delivers. Stephens Hall will serve the business school but also act as a hub for students from all disciplines to gather and study.

The building honors the memory of its namesake, Michael E. Stephens, who passed away in 2017. Stephens left a $3.6 million legacy gift to UM designated toward the construction of the new facility. The goal with the investment is to accentuate the educational opportunities for the students of Montevallo and further accelerate their path to becoming future leaders within the business community.

The new building will help further the success the College of Business and will contribute to the upward trend in the college’s enrollment.
