Steven Wymer donated $25 million to the Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois to fund Wymer Hall, a 100,000‑square‑foot facility that opened with flexible classrooms, a 200‑seat auditorium, TV-grade sound stages, studios for online learning, and expanded faculty offices. The gift—part of a $50 million fundraising haul—reflects targeted capital investment in hybrid learning infrastructure and experiential programs as business schools expand undergraduate enrollment and digital course offerings.
