The College of Business Administration broke ground on a new facility June 2 in a ceremony honoring the lead donors on the project.

The 120,000 square feet facility will be a three-story building on UNO's south campus. The new building will feature many more classrooms, an auditorium and an atrium.

The estimated cost of the building is $31 million, but the college hopes to raise $7.5 million more to support new programs, professors and other projects. Two of the project's private donors were unveiled at the groundbreaking ceremony.

Both the Mammel Foundation as well as Bill and Ruth Scott presented gifts toward the facility. The building will be known as Mammel Hall, named for Carl and Joyce Mammel of Omaha who are lead donors.

The project is expected to be completed by fall 2010.
