History
The School was established as "School of Commerce and Finance" of Indiana University in 1920. It was subsequently renamed "School of Business Administration" in 1933 and "School of Business" in 1938. In 1997 it was named "Kelley School of Business" after its alumnus, E.W. Kelley, Chairman of The Steak n Shake Company, gave a substantial donation of $23 million.
Initially it resided in the Commerce Building constructed in 1923 (William A. Rawles Hall since 1971), moving to the Business and Economics Building in 1940 (called Woodburn Hall since 1971) and finally to today's Business School building in 1966.
Completed in 2003, the $33 million Graduate and Executive Education Center provides state-of-the-art learning facilities to the Kelley School's graduate and executive education students and houses some of the nation's top-ranked programs and research centers. Featuring elegant limestone and oak architecture, the building provides students and faculty with every imaginable technological advantage and connects with the undergraduate facilities via a two-story limestone walkway.
In the Summer of 2005 interim Dean Dan Smith was appointed to be the new dean of the school, replacing Dean Dan Dalton who stepped down in 2004.
In a ceremony on October 21, 2005, the Kelley School renamed its Graduate and Executive Education Center in honor of William J. Godfrey, an alumnus and successful businessman who has bequeathed land valued at $25 million. It is the single largest gift in the Kelley School's history. [1]

The Kelley School renamed its Graduate and Executive Education Center in honor of William J. Godfrey, an alumnus and successful businessman who has bequeathed land valued at $25 million.
The building features classrooms and other facilities that maximize student-faculty interaction in a collaborative setting. The most wired building on the Bloomington campus, it features both direct and wireless connectivity that will help students both inside and outside the classroom. Other special features include a trading room, which includes informational resources comparable to most Wall Street firms, allowing students and faculty to monitor the markets, develop financial products, and engage into trading activities with other counterparties. The Princeton Review recently ranked Kelley's quality of facilities as #2 in the nation.
Undergraduate Building Expansion & Renovation
On August 14th, the IU Trustees approved the architectural design of an undergraduate expansion/renovation project.
The Schematic Design phase is complete and BSA LifeStructures, in tandem with the IU Project Team, is now knee-deep into Design Development. The charge is to secure the remaining private support for Phase 1 (the expansion) in order to meet the proposed construction target of the summer of 2010, concurrent with Phase 2’s (the renovation) design launch.
Once Phase 1 is complete, the existing Kelley undergraduate population will inhabit the new space, thereby enabling the construction team to renovate the existing facility, floor by floor.
The expansion will be four-levels – comparable to its neighbors. Its primary facades will face 10th Street and Fee Lane. The “L-Shaped” plans will wrap the south and west faces of the existing structure’s “C-Wing”.
