Marquette University's New Home for Business

Dr. E.J. and Margaret O'Brien Hall

Marquette University's Dr. E.J. and Margaret O’Brien Hall welcomed students for its first Fall semester following the building's opening in early 2023. Home to the College of Business Administration, O'Brien Hall is an engaging, inclusive, and student-centered place that has already become a frequented destination for Marquette's campus community.

The new state-of-the-art facility connects students, faculty, and leaders and mentors across the Milwaukee area and beyond by supporting opportunities for learning and community. O'Brien Hall is a recent recipient of a 2023 Honor Award for Design Excellence from AIA Wisconsin and a 2023 Excellence in Design Architectural Honor Award from AIA Kansas.

Overbrook Overlook
2023 Honor Award in Architecture (Extra Small)

"The principal intervention [of Overbrook Overlook] is the layout of the floorplan and how the spaces within will engage the landscape and engage the light. That is amplified by using a very humble material, plywood, to line the interior … An exceptional measure of design excellence at an honor award level.”
