| As
of November 21, 2003, Goldring/Woldenberg Hall II is the new
home of Freeman School graduate and executive programs. Goldring/Woldenberg
Hall II houses the MBA program, the Master of Accounting program,
the Master of Finance program, the Executive MBA and Professional
MBA programs and the Office of Graduate Programs. A special
wing dedicated to the Burkenroad Family -- the Burkenroad
Center -- houses Burkenroad Reports and the Burkenroad Institute.
Goldring/Woldenberg Hall II also houses the Goldring Institute
of International Business and two new centers: The Entergy-Tulane
Energy Institute and the Lawrence Finance Center. The third
floor is dedicated to the Stewart Center for Executive Education,
including specially designed distance-learning Executive MBA
classrooms, an executive dining room, lounge and kitchen,
executive conference rooms, and administrative suites.
Designed
by Waggonner & Ball Architects in New Orleans, Goldring/Woldenberg
Hall II is a three- and part-four-story, 60,000 square foot
facility. Built at a cost of $25 million, the building features
a 130-seat lecture theater, four 65-seat case-method-style
MBA classrooms, seminar rooms, breakout rooms, student government
offices, and a state-of-the-art information systems laboratory.
The technological centerpiece of the new building, however,
is the Trading Center, a $1.5 million electronic trading room
equipped with sophisticated simulation, trading and financial
software including Kiodex, Crystal Ball and FEA. The Trading
Center serves the Freeman School’s acclaimed experiential
learning programs Burkenroad Reports and the Darwin Fenner
Student Managed Fund as well as acts as a hands-on laboratory
for the teaching of energy, risk management, equities and
options.
