These projects will be funded by a combination of private donations, auxiliary revenue bonds and reserves. A $10 million donation by Bob Reynolds, a 1974 WVU finance graduate and president and CEO of three multinational companies, and his wife, Laura, became the catalyst for the new, $100 million home for the business college. Reynolds Hall will replace Stansbury Hall. The Eberly College of Arts and Sciences will move into the business school’s current building once Reynolds Hall is ready for occupancy, which is scheduled for June 2022. Reynolds Hall will also house a recreation center for students. The building will be bigger to hold the growing college while also offering spaces for exper­ iential learning, which will better equip students to facilitate The Clingman Center for Community Engagement.
