PHOENIX —
Construction crews are staying busy over the summer at Grand Canyon University.
GCU President Brian Mueller said the university has about $120 million to spend on construction projects this summer. It is building everything from new dorm rooms to a new activities center. Most projects will be completed by the start of the fall.
“We’ve had a lot of big building years, but this has been our biggest,” Mueller said. “We’re right in the middle of it, and everything is on target in terms of its completion date.”
One of the buildings being constructed include a 150,000-square-foot building to expand the Colangelo College of Business.
Mueller said the college is attracting students, and they need space to keep up with the growth. He noted of the 21,000 students who will be attending GCU in the fall, nearly 4,000 will be enrolled in the Colangelo College of Business.
“There’s a spirit of entrepreneurism there, and a spirit around conscious capitalism and conducting business for the greater good,” he said, referring to the college.
