Celebrating 90 Years of Leadership
Richard Ivey Building
Welcome to
the Richard
Ivey Building
Respecting the School’s rich 90-year history while projecting a
vibrant future, the new Richard Ivey Building is home to over 2,000
students, faculty and staff. The new building will reunite HBA, MBA,
MSc and PhD programs in one attractive and inspiring jewel-like
structure that finds its architectural inspiration in a geological
structure called a geode. Like a geode, the new building fits in
perfectly with its surroundings through its trademark stone exterior,
but as you’ll see, the inside exudes an exceptional creativity and
quiet confidence that is a trademark of the Ivey Business School.

First Floor Highlights
< Brock Pavilion
Sometimes you just have to find a place to
relax and refocus. That place is the Brock
Pavilion – a bright, inviting space to gather
with classmates over great food featuring
local ingredients, pizza straight from the
oven, and executive-class coffee and
beverages all prepared fresh daily by our
own chef. It’s a social space that can hold
approximately 260 people at any one time
and features a full Starbucks just off the
Pavilion.
260
approximate number of people
who can dine in the Brock Pavilion
at one time.
< Grand Hall
Like any home, Ivey has a heart
– the Grand Hall. It’s a place
to gather before class, plan
presentations or just kick back
with a coffee. From communitywide meetings and major
announcements to Homecoming,
the Grand Hall is central to the Ivey
community. Enjoy the magnificent
fireplace featuring an Algonquin
limestone wall between the Grand
staircase and the side of the
fireplace, the same material used
on the building’s exterior.
The glass doors of the Grand
Hall open onto the Love Family
Quadrangle, offering the beautiful
perspective of our sunrise and
sunset breakout room palette
circling the Quadrangle.
^ Student lounges and breakout rooms
Intense, challenging and interesting, student life at Ivey is definitely enhanced by the building’s
unique design, readily apparent in the many student lounges and breakout rooms. The open
yet comfortable layouts encourage relaxing, connecting and collaborating with classmates
and faculty. Breakout rooms line the entire Quadrangle. Smaller study rooms are available for
recruiting interviews or team discussions. Each room’s particular palette – from warm reds to
cool purples – reflects the spectrum of colours associated with sunrise and sunset as seen from
each space.
The curving balustrades on the
second and third floors offer
exceptional views of events taking
place on the ground floor and
also provide impromptu meeting
space for students and faculty
and staff. In total the Grand Hall
can accommodate approximately
1,500 people.
first FLOOR highlights 5
^ BMO Financial Group Auditorium
This multi-level 670 square-metre (7,200 squarefoot), state-of-the-art facility has already hosted an
A-list of top business leaders and faculty speakers for
students, alumni and guests, such as former Bank
of Canada Governor Mark Carney. The Auditorium
seats up to 640 people and features the latest in
videoconferencing technology, perfect for milestone
special occasions such as Homecoming and the Ivey
Ring Tradition Ceremony. Harry Rosen Lounge & Terrace
Adjacent to the Grand Hall is the Harry Rosen Lounge & Terrace, a great way
to start the day, catch your breath between classes or scan the headlines.
The lounge area features soft seating, coffee tables and connects to the
outdoor terrace area facing Western Road. The oak floor mimics the floor of
the J J Wettlaufer Dean’s Suite and contains one of the building’s six fireplaces.
6 first FLOOR highlights
The massive 300-inch stadium-style screen features
special light absorbing material for a sharp, clear
picture even with the house lights on. Bringing our
in-house guest speakers, watching Blu-Ray video,
webcasting or videoconferences complete with Skype
capability to the screen is the work of the powerful
Christie projector, similar to what you would find at
the movie theatre. And for an integrated Q&A session,
four cameras automatically move to capture questions
from nine microphone locations and put the visuals
on-screen. Full stereo sound is delivered through
speakers and a sub-woofer located beside the screen.
For more intimate events, the curtain closes to contain
about 200 seats and the screen automatically resizes
to suit the smaller venue.
2.5
Football Fields
The 12,600 square metres (136,000 square feet)
of carpet used in the building could
cover about 2.5 football fields.
< The Ivey case classroom
Engaging and dynamic, the Ivey classroom is where the magic happens. All
classrooms have tiered seating with dimensions carefully designed to ensure
each student enjoys optimal views of faculty and classmates. Floor-to-ceiling
windows, acoustic paneling and state-of-the-art technology enhance the
classroom experience, giving students the same world-renowned case-based
learning experience since the first class graduated in 1923. Walnut finishes
and soft angles match the design seen throughout the building.
Each classroom features exceptional presentation and recording capabilities
that can be managed in-class or from a control in the building’s basement.
From the control room, up to six classrooms can be managed, monitored and
recorded at once.
< Love Family Quadrangle
Think on your feet, or just enjoy some fresh air. The Love Family Quadrangle
offers ample opportunity for both in a park-like setting. Reminiscent of the
world’s great academic outdoor designs, the Quadrangle shares the light
with all areas of the building through tall transparent doors, pathways,
benches, a stunning water feature and a copse of mature Carolinian trees.
The area is ringed by breakout rooms that capture light at any time of the
day, in any season.
The Quad is a key component in our gold LEED certification. The inward
sloping roof collects rainwater, which feeds the reflecting pool located
adjacent to the Grand Hall. Water evaporating from the pool cools the
temperature of the outdoor air before it is supplied to the air-handling
systems, reducing energy use in the building.

Second Floor Highlights
< Ivey Family commemorative plaque
Located on the landing between the ground and
second floors, the distinctive plaque recognizes
the extraordinary vision and selfless generosity
of the Ivey family for 65 years and counting. The
Richard Ivey name has been associated with the
Business School at Western officially since 1957
when its first faculty building was opened on
Western’s campus. That tradition is carried on in
the Gold LEED certified building that continues to
bear the family name.
20,950
cubic
feet of
stone
The building uses 330 cubic metres (11650 cubic feet) of
Algonquin limestone, 37 cubic metres (1,300 cubic feet) of
flagstone, and 227 cubic metres (8,000 cubic feet) of rubble stone
all cut from a quarry in Wiarton, Ontario. The raw rock was
shipped in blocks to the fabrication shop outside of Owen Sound,
and then delivered piece by piece to the Ivey site.
^ Student Services
The second and third floors feature the Algonquin
limestone quarried in nearby Owen Sound – a
critical component in our Gold LEED certification.
Student services, including degree program offices
and Career Management are located on the second
floor, together with additional 50-seat classrooms.
< Leenders Lounge
The Leenders Lounge represents the life-long
connection between Arkadi Kuhlmann, HBA ’71,
MBA ’72, Advisory Board Chair 2003-2013 and
Professor Emeritus Mike Leenders, MBA ’59. The
lounge was generously funded by Kuhlmann, who
requested the space be named in honour of his
favourite professor. This type of transformational
and lasting relationship is replicated time and again
between Ivey alumni and faculty.
The naturally lit area contains a full-service kitchen
and a large outdoor patio, perfectly suited for
faculty and staff gatherings.
second FLOOR highlights 9
Art
An extensive artwork collection, unique to Ivey, gives students, faculty
and staff a look at the latest work of leading Canadian artists. The artwork
displayed in the building for the opening has been specifically acquired
and generously donated by the Ivey Family. The artists are all mid-career
Canadian artists and represent five different provinces.
Below are several of the fascinating works that will take up permanent
residence in the Richard Ivey Building.
Fiona Ackerman, Heterotopia, 2012, acrylic and oil
on canvas, 98.5 x 98.5 inches Charles Bierk, Jesse, 2013, oil on canvas,

courts
The area of glass of the
exterior-facing windows
(including the Love Family
Quadrangle) is 4,892
square metres (53,000
square feet), and could
cover 10 basketball courts.
^ Jewel Rooms
The two glass conference rooms over the finished main entrance off the corner of Western Road and
Brescia Lane are referred to as the “jewels”. And no wonder. These glass-enclosed areas each feature
one of the six fireplaces in the building and are designed to gather and share light.
C.B. Bud Johnston Library >
The library’s two-storey structure faces a grove of
trees, an inspiring place for quiet study. In fact, the
library has about 175,000 users annually and staff
assist with 2,800 research questions throughout
the year.
Faculty Suites and
Research Suites
Whether in quiet reflection
behind closed doors or in
animated hallway discussion
with colleagues and students,
two floors of quietly elegant
office suites give Ivey faculty a
chance to prep for tomorrow’s
case, catch up on their reading
or draft that new journal article.
Within the library itself, the quietest spaces occur on
the mezzanine with the more active spaces on the
main floor. The main floor of the library enjoys natural
light and plenty of seating along with eight Bloomberg
Terminals.
Books shelves, two meeting rooms and additional
seating are located on the second floor overlooking
the main floor.
Ivey’s research centres and
institutes are all here: The
Ben Graham Centre for Value
Investing, the Ian O Ihnatowycz
Institute for Leadership, the
Lawrence National Centre for
Policy & Management, and the
Pierre L. Morrissette Institute
for Entrepreneurship.
Bud’s Corner, situated in the Howard Canadian
Business History room, was created to honour
C.B. Bud Johnston, the School’s Dean from 1978-1989.
The room houses the print journals and an extensive
Canadian business history.
Check out the new library:
• Approximately 18,000 books will be available,
down from the 80,000 we had in the old library.
But don’t worry, nothing was thrown out. The other
62,000 books are in storage and available for next
day delivery
• Approximately 75 print journal titles are offered
• The current reference and reserve collection is

^ J J Wettlaufer Dean’s Suite
The Dean’s suite is open concept with glass enclosures to bring in
natural light. The 20-seat capacity Latta Boardroom features rich
oak hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides and
spectacular views of Western University and downtown London. The
area also captures Ivey’s multiple campuses in London, Toronto and
Hong Kong through an artfully-designed window cling.
< PhD Mezzanine
Most schools keep their PhD students in the basement. Not here.
Our PhDs are in the mezzanine above the third floor, overlooking the
faculty suite. The specially-designed area is home for Canada’s longest
established program begun in 1961 and developed to prepare PhD
candidates for a career in university teaching and research.
< Corporate Services
This open-concept area is home to
corporate services, such as Advancement,
Human Resources, Communications and
Public Affairs, Marketing and Recruitment,
IT and Finance. Frosted glass dividers, a
host of curved lines and a spectacular
view of the Love Family Quadrangle
encourage creativity and collaboration.
Skylights bring in natural light to the
second and third floors. Meeting spaces
promote quiet work or team collaboration.
274,000
Square Feet
The total area of the building is 25,500 square metres
(274,000 square feet). The total area of the original building
on campus was 14,000 square metres (150,000 square feet)

Our Gold Leed®
Certification
Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) is the leading green building
certification system in North America,
providing a framework for practical and
measurable green building design and
construction. While Western seeks LEED
Silver as a minimum standard for new
buildings and major renovation, Ivey has
gone beyond the minimum to achieve
LEED Gold status, which is consistent
with our desire to attract students, faculty,
staff, and other partners to a leading-edge
organization.
^ Stephenson Reflecting Pool
The elegant pool flanking the main entrance and the Brock
Pavilion was named to honour Carol Stephenson’s impact
on Ivey and the Canadian business school landscape during
her tenure as Dean from 2003-2013. Under the Dean’s fivepillared strategic plan, Ivey has enjoyed an extraordinary
period of growth, reaffirming its position as Canada’s premier
business school.
Carol
Stephenson
•• A cistern and piping system allows rain
water to flush the toilets while specially
designed faucets, urinals, toilets and
showerheads reduce indoor water usage
by more than 20 percent
The 178,000 litres (39,000 gals) water feature was designed
by the building’s architect, Hariri Pontarini, in consultation
with international water feature design consultants Dan Euser Waterarchitecture Inc.
The design connects the new building to the rest of Western’s campus, providing a moment
of reflection between the old and new. It draws pedestrians coming from the adjacent
intersection towards the main entrance while embracing the arc of the existing trees that
line Brescia Lane.
The Reflecting Pool was made possible through the generous support of alumni, staff,
faculty and friends who wished to recognize Carol’s 10 years of leadership at Ivey.
