School of Business Renovation Underway at Iona College

Iona College in New Rochelle, NY, recently received approval for the renovation and expansion of their School of Business building. The renovation includes the addition of high-tech learning spaces and computer labs, along with a variety of new classroom and lab spaces that will more than double the total academic space of the building. The expanded School of Business is also designed to feature trading rooms and a business career center that students can utilize to explore the local and national job markets.
