Gleacher Center is the downtown Chicago campus for the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. It is home to our part-time Evening and Weekend MBA programs, Chicago-based Executive MBA program, and Executive Education courses. Over the years, it has hosted many of Booth’s most distinctive events, from the annual Management Conference to industry events and conferences. Conveniently located in the heart of Chicago's vibrant business district just off the Magnificent Mile, this building also serves as a conference center and popular meeting place for corporate gatherings.

Throughout the building and across campus, special walls and artwork feature our Nobel Laureates and donors, celebrating the alumni and faculty who have helped shape Booth into what it is today. Gleacher Center also has some specially selected modern art adorning its walls, a complement to the remarkable, 500-piece contemporary art collection hosted at the Hyde Park campus, Harper Center. All art is carefully curated and intended to be intellectually stimulating as well as visually intriguing.

Gleacher Center’s more than 20 classrooms were designed with the input of students and faculty to create an environment that helps support class discussion and elevated engagement. The classrooms have comfortable, tiered seating that allows for unobstructed views of large screens to promote interactivity and make it easy to engage no matter where in the classroom you’re sitting. State-of-the-art technology is integrated into the Gleacher Center’s classrooms, and we have our own in-house staff to make sure it runs smoothly. Newly installed technology designed for dual modality learning supports classes, and classrooms include built-in audio and projection, as well as power outlets at the seats.
