The University of Nevada, Las Vegas received a $68 million state allocation toward construction of a new Lee Business School building—roughly half the funds needed for the planned 130,000-square-foot facility. State leaders and the university framed the investment as critical to expanding capacity for more than 4,000 business majors and advancing workforce partnerships. The appropriation signals continued state interest in funding capital projects tied to economic development and workforce alignment. Other business schools watching UNLV’s package may leverage the case as a template for arguing state investments in higher education infrastructure linked to regional economic strategies.
