Inside Miller Hall

Today, my schedule for the Fall 2012 semester was created! I am really excited to be taking six business courses towards my Accounting major. Even more exciting is that all of my classes are in Miller Hall!

Miller Hall is the beautiful and new as of 2009 academic building which houses both the undergraduate and graduate schools of business here at the College. Some of the building’s perks include a business library, the Boehly Café, a career center, and a financial markets center. Additionally, the lounge on the first floor with the big fireplace is one of my favorite places to study on campus. Next year, I’ll never have to or will want to leave!

My freshman year, I took Principles of Accounting in Miller. The classroom was amazing and was filled with state of the art technology. On the way to class, I would pass by a dozen study rooms each equipped with a television making doing group projects an easier task. One thing that the business school stresses is working as part of a team. During the Integrated Foundation Semester (first semester in the business school), you are placed in a group. You take all of your Foundation classes with your team and do all of the group projects together. From the feedback I have been getting from juniors and seniors who have completed the Foundation, I am really excited for next semester!

When constructing the building, William & Mary wanted to keep it as green as possible and as a result, Miller uses 23.5 percent less energy as compared to a similar sized building. Equally as impressive, Miller Hall has received a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council!

For potential business majors or minors, I suggest taking the video tour. Prepare to be amazed!
