Vantage Provides Technology Consulting Services
to University of Wyoming College of Business
(Laramie, WY - May 2009) The University of Wyoming
is renovating and expanding its College of Business. The new
College of Business will bring together all departments of
the college, which are currently in two different locations,
into one location. The project calls for a complete renovation
of the existing 62,000-square-foot building and an addition
of 103,000 square feet adjacent to the existing building.
The new building will have centrally located academic advising
and career development centers; a networked trading room for
students studying financial management and investment strategies;
a variety of classroom environments, including group study
rooms, tiered-seating case study rooms, a multimedia laboratory,
practice interview rooms, computer labs, and a 150-seat auditorium;
a student lounge and reading room and open areas, including
an atrium, where students and faculty can meet informally
to discuss ideas and collaborate on projects.
The project is designed to meet a silver LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
Construction began in the summer of 2008, with completion
in Fall 2010. The total project budget is estimated to be
$54 million.
Vantage is providing technology consulting services
for the audiovisual systems and classroom technologies through
the conclusion of the architectural design and construction
phases of the project.
