Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Catalyzing transformation at Bentley University

Future Proofing Starts With Innovation Excellence

Innovation is at our core. From being one of the first to provide students with laptops to a state-of-the-art trading room, Bentley has consistently transformed business education to meet future demands.

In a world rapidly being shaped by the power of emerging technologies and AI, we must equip our students with the durable skills and forward-thinking mindset needed to thrive amid constant technological disruption.

Bentleyโ€™s graduates prove our approach works โ€” they donโ€™t just adapt to change. They drive it.

As a leading business university in this Innovation Age, Bentley must equip students with more than knowledge โ€” we must empower them with the cutting-edge tools and resources to navigate and shape tomorrowโ€™s business frontier.

Adamian Academic Center: Bringing Business to Life

The newly reimagined Adamian Academic Center plays a key role in realizing our vision to fuel technology, innovation and entrepreneurial excellence at Bentley. Through improvements and updates to the buildingโ€™s footprint and usage, we will create a destination for knowledge, innovation and collaboration for Bentleyโ€™s students and faculty.

Proposed rendering of the new building.
Adamian Academic Center: The sustainably designed 15,000-square-foot expansion, the Innovation Pavilion, will showcase the dynamic activity within. A new cafe will serve as a welcoming spot to recharge and connect. Enhanced spaces throughout will make room for collaboration and serve as hubs for the cross-pollination of ideas.

Futures Lab: This innovative academic space will be designed to integrate cutting-edge business research with dynamic, visually immersive experiences, offering flexibility to support a wide range of learning activities.

Build Lab: Spaces like this new Build Lab will add capabilities for immersive technologies, hands-on learning and active prototyping. Collaborative workspaces and meeting rooms will also enliven the center.
