A Campus within a Campus

Olin Business School has four buildings on WashU’s Danforth Campus: Knight, Bauer and Simon Halls and the Knight Center.

Knight Hall and Bauer Hall

Considered our graduate buildings, Knight Hall and Bauer Hall were completed in 2014. In addition to plenty of space for group or individual study, the buildings include a learning lab, a 325-seat auditorium and a five-story atrium. You’ll find a community forum on the first floor and a café and coffee shop on the third floor.

Simon Hall

Our undergraduate and doctoral students call Simon Hall home. Inside, you’ll find classrooms, seminar rooms, faculty offices, our library, a behavioral research laboratory and small-group study rooms. The outdoor courtyard in the center of the building is a favorite spot to study or relax between classes. 

Knight Center

The Knight Center Executive Education and Conference Center is primarily focused on executive education. EMBA students are well acquainted with the Knight Center’s offerings, and you’ll find them there one weekend each month. The center also offers newly renovated overnight accommodations for visitors to campus and the popular Bear Public House pub and restaurant.
