Utah State University commissioned Axis Architects to provide a preliminary design for fund raising purposes showing potential for a new business building. The program includes classrooms, computer labs, student interactive spaces, the business library, the Dean’s suite, faculty and staff offices, and the three pillars of the school, the Center for Entrepreneurship, Center for Global Management, and the Center for Ethical Leadership.

The building was designed to interact with the original business building which is directly adjacent to this site. The atrium would provide commanding views over the Wellsville Mountain Range, and would be visible from all parts of Cache Valley. This building was designed to occupy a prime location on the campus, and would have served as an entry element for the campus. The building was designed to provide an iconic and progressive image which mirrors the modern curriculum.
