Quinlan Opens John and Kathy Schreiber Center Up For Business in Chicago

We’ve been writing a lot about the John and Kathy Schreiber Center lately in this space. The Loyola community was finally able to official celebrate the opening of the new home of the Quinlan School of Business with a ribbon cutting and building blessing on August 27.

Quinlan is moving to the new 10-story building on the Water Tower campus named for the Schreibers, alumni John Schreiber and his wife Kathy, who promised $10 million to the school last year. According to Crain’s, the building will found at the corner of State Street and Pearson Avenue will house Loyola’s Family Business Center, Center for Risk Management and its Supply and Value Chain Center in addition to hosting undergraduate, graduate and executive-education business classes.

Here’s what some members of the Quinlan family had to say during the ceremony:

John Pelissero, PhD, Loyola’s interim president: “This is an exciting day for the University, as we dedicate the state-of-the-art, game-changing Schreiber Center.”

“This building is the physical realization of our strategic goals for the Quinlan School of Business. With the leadership of Dean Stevens and the completion now of our Water Tower Campus facilities, we are poised to leverage our world-class education and to benefit from a solid financial foundation to become a leader in business education.”

Dean Kevin Stevens: “I believe we have the best business building in the city of Chicago and probably in the United States. What strikes me the most about the building is that the only thing between our students and faculty and the community of Chicago is a thin pane of glass. The building invites people in and challenges us to move out into the business community.”
