The Donald & Patricia Schneider Family Hall now serves as the home of the Donald J. Schneider School of Business and Economics and stands as a hub for business education in northeast Wisconsin, featuring a terrace along the Fox River and reimagined classrooms and workspaces.

Thanks to a lead gift from the Schneider family, the signature building was designed by Workshop Architects of Milwaukee and constructed by Miron Construction, opening in time for fall classes in 2025.

The 45,000-square-foot, multi-use facility, located at the western end of the Claude Allouez bridge in De Pere, includes:

• Classrooms and workspaces designed for contemporary learning
• Space for executive education and conferencing opportunities
• A connected terrace for gathering along the Fox River

The building is home to the college’s undergraduate and graduate business and economics programs, including data analytics and the new sports management program.

Schneider Family Hall was built on the former site of the college’s Pennings Activity Center, which was first established in 1923 as Nicolet High School.
