HPU breaks ground on Wilson commerce school

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, January 21, 2007

High Point — High Point University has broken ground on the Plato S. Wilson Family School of Commerce, named for the family of the retired furniture sales representative and longtime HPU supporter.

HPU President Nido Qubein praised the Wilson family's support and "faith in our vision."

The 38,000-square-foot, three-story building will house classrooms, faculty offices, a conference room, trading room, a two-story entrance rotunda and a great hall for conferences and dining, which will flow out onto a patio.

The school will offer marketing and management classes, with an emphasis on small business, entrepreneurship and sales.

Wilson is a member of the American Furniture Hall of Fame.

Other pillars of the university's business program are the Phillips School of Business and the Knabusch-Shoemaker International School of Home Furnishings and Design.
