Providing a home for the College of Business and Entrepreneurship and offices for North Greenville University’s senior leadership, the Donnan Administration Building will open in early 2024.
The Donnan/COBE Project will fully revamp the historic administration building, which was opened in 1955 and is situated at the highest point on campus at North Greenville.
The project will provide five contemporary classrooms; student gathering, meeting, and collaboration spaces; and faculty offices for the College of Business and Entrepreneurship, which enrolled nearly 500students in the Fall 2023 semester.

The new office suite for senior administrators will bring NGU’s chief executive, operating, academic, and financial officers, as well as general counsel, under one roof.
