Smith Entrepreneurs Hall

2805 Lowden Avenue
Fort Worth, TX 76109

Today, Smith Entrepreneurs Hall, which opened in February, is bustling with student activity. Designed by the architectural firms Ellerbe Beckett (which designed the Tucker Technology Center) and Hahnfeld Hoffer Stanford, the decidedly student-centered building contains 13 classrooms equipped with the latest technology, 17 team rooms and five interview rooms.

The hall also is home to the Ryffel Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, the MBA academic program and the Graduate Career Services Center. Inside, the three-story hall is similar to an “idea lab,” with classrooms containing large quantities of “white board” space for design development (similar to advertising and architectural firms) and computerized audio-visual tools for electronic presentations. Fiber optics, computer labs, and on- and off-campus videoconferencing capabilities are also highlights. A barrel-shaped copper roof and a wall of glass highlight the exterior of Smith Hall.
