Congdon School of Supply Chain, Business Analytics and Information Systems Building
Information technology is rapidly becoming a critical tool in fulfilling any university's mission. Education, scholarship, and service to the state and region all depend on information technology: that is, on computers and communications. The Congdon Hall facility opened January 10, 2007 for the Spring 2007 semester.
UNCW's Congdon Hall is helping Southeastern North Carolina transition into the digital age.
As the building was designed, the goals for this facility included:
- To provide an interior that reflects technology, is student-centered, and teamwork-oriented
- To provide a space that encourages active and cooperative learning
- To provide opportunity for collaboration between academic departments
- To provide space as part of industry outreach and research collaboration
- To raise information technology literacy and capabilities for UNCW, the region, and beyond
Unique features of the Congdon Hall building include:
- Multidisciplinary, hands-on laboratories equipped with the latest information technologies
