Downtown biz school nearly complete


With its handsome wooden furniture and coordinated color scheme, the student lounge at the University of Charleston's new downtown business school isn't like what Nora Myers remembers from her own grad school days.

"I'm pretty sure there were some bean-bag chairs in there," said Myers, who was just named experiential director of the business school.

Classes for the master's degree in business administration and leadership start in late August for the three-year graduate program's first class of 20 students. They'll take courses on the second floor of the Triana Energy Building on Virginia Street.

The building once housed the Boll Furniture store, which closed last year.

Renovations on the 10,000-square-foot second floor are complete, and now workers are cleaning up and arranging furniture
