Located in the Collegetown section of Ithaca, New York, the Center for Business Education—the executive education center for the SC Johnson College of Business—is a P3 (Public Private Partnership) project and the first academic building for Cornell University in this rapidly evolving innovation district one block from campus. The building acts like a glass vitrine, inviting the community to witness the entrepreneurial activities occurring within.

The building’s façade includes a combination of clear and patterned glass with a rhythmic arrangement of projecting aluminum mullion-fins, painted a red-orange color to reflect the brick buildings of Collegetown.
