Snead Hall, the new home of the VCU School of Business, opened for classes in January 2008. The building is named in honor of 1976 graduates Thomas G. Snead, Jr. and Vickie M. Snead.

Located at 301 West Main Street, Snead Hall is part of the Monroe Park Campus expansion, which includes the School of Engineering East Hall, the VCU BrandCenter, a new residential college and a parking deck.

"This is the new VCU, with world-class facilities that compete with any in the country," says VCU President Eugene P. Trani.
