Morgan State Constructing New School of Business in Honor of Earl Graves - Higher Education

Morgan State Constructing New School of Business in Honor of Earl Graves - Higher Education: A new state-of-the-art building is being constructed at Maryland’s oldest HBCU—Morgan State University—and will be named after one of its most successful alumni—businessman and media mogul Earl G. Graves Sr.

The construction of the $80 million facility will house the university’s School of Business and Management, which was renamed in 2005 after the founder and publisher of Black Enterprise magazine who donated a $1 million gift to advance business education at the college located in Baltimore.

With more than 50 full-time faculty members and an enrollment of about 1,500 graduate and undergraduate students, the School of Business has outgrown its current facility, said Morgan’s president, Dr. David Wilson.
