James E. Hoff, S.J., Academic Quad

Set for completion in August 2010, the Hoff Academic Quad features 170,000 square feet of new academic facilities that will dramatically enhance Xavier’s learning environment. The Hoff Academic Quad is built around two new facilities—the Learning Commons and a new building for the Williams College of Business—and supported by a new central utility plant. Taken together, these new structures will serve as a model of excellence in American higher education.

  • The new facility for the Williams College of Business is a world-class, technologically advanced resource. It is designed to bring together students, faculty, staff, alumni and business executives to collaborate and create innovative programming.
  • The Conaton Learning Commons is the heart of the Hoff Academic Quad. The Commons provides Xavier students with a full range of facilities, technologies and services that help them master a broad set of essential skills and thus gain a competitive advantage in their respective disciplines and careers.
