JACKSON — Union University will dedicate its newest academic building, The Ethos Forum, at a March 21 ceremony.
The Ethos Forum will house Union’s McAfee School of Business and the computer science and engineering departments. Located between White Hall and Pleasant Plains Extension on the Great Lawn, the building is part of the campus master plan that Union trustees approved in 2019.
The 40,204-square-foot facility will feature a makerspace, a business incubator and numerous learning spaces designed to foster creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation and academic excellence. The Ethos Forum includes 171 computers, 19 classrooms and labs, 39 offices and five study rooms.
“With The Ethos Forum, we are dedicated to fostering a community where ideas flourish and innovation thrives,” Union University President Samuel W. “Dub” Oliver said. “This space is designed to be a hub for collaboration, creativity and the exchange of ideas, reflecting our commitment to living out our Christ-centered values in every aspect of our work.”
The building will open for use the week after dedication. The ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. and is open to the public. The Ethos Forum will be open for tours following the dedication.
