University of Missouri - St. Louis Breaks Ground for Anheuser-Busch Hall

Last Thursday, more than 150 people gathered for the much-anticipated groundbreaking of the new Anheuser-Busch Hall for the University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL).

Anheuser-Busch Hall, named in honor of a $2.5 million donation from Anheuser-Busch Foundation, will house all current business school operations, offering students and faculty a centralized place to collaborate, interact and share ideas within their specific disciplines. The building will feature cutting-edge classrooms, modern computer laboratories, faculty offices, seminar and conference rooms and undergraduate and graduate advising areas. This donation will guarantee the university a place for the next generation of business leaders who will help St. Louis – and Anheuser-Busch – grow and prosper.

“This effort has been many years in the making, and it truly could not have been made possible without all the other donors, who like Anheuser-Busch, believe in supporting the educational needs of our students, many of which are from the region or remain in the region for their professional careers,” said Margarita Flores, vice president of community affairs for Anheuser-Busch. “We look forward to the completion of the building and know that this will be a great place to foster learning, collaboration and to generate the next leaders of our community.”
