I am writing to share information regarding the Atkinson Graduate School of Management's upcoming relocation from the Mudd Building on Winter Street to Kaneko Commons. This move will consolidate all of the Atkinson School's classrooms, offices, and facilities together under one roof, fostering a more cohesive and collaborative environment for our students, faculty, and staff.
The initial stages of the relocation have begun. While some details are still being finalized, the following is information about the current move timeline and arrangements:
- The relocation of Atkinson's operations to Kaneko Commons is scheduled to take place during Winter Break.
- Starting January 2025, all Salem-based AGSM classes (ECCC, MBA-P, and undergraduate) will be held in Kaneko.
- Facilities and WITS teams are working diligently to upgrade classrooms, faculty/staff offices, and student spaces in Kaneko to ensure they're ready for our use.
Please note that the former dining facility in Kaneko will NOT reopen in Spring 2025. Its future operation is under consideration.
We are actively working on several important aspects of this transition, including parking arrangements, catering for MBA-P class dinners, and updating building maps.
In the meantime, and especially for our residents in Kaneko, we appreciate your patience with any noise or other disruptions as we complete the renovations in preparation for the move.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to use at provost@willamette.edu.
