Glassy: The new Yale building is timed to open in 2013. Elite business schools are locked in an 'arms race' of building bigger and more elaborate business campuses to recruit the best students and faculty
Yale plays catch-up in Ivy League edifice race
It's planning a glittering US$180 million structure designed by Lord Norman Foster, who built London's 'Gherkin' tower(NEW YORK) YALE University's School of Management, which aspires to be among the world's best business schools, crams its students and faculty into 19th century homes and former astronomy buildings linked by a rabbit-warren of basements.
That's a far cry from Harvard Business School's 33-building riverfront campus, which boasts a chapel, health club and its own art collection.
To help catch up, Yale is planning a glittering US$180 million structure designed by Lord Norman Foster, who built London's 'Gherkin' tower. The new building, scheduled to open in 2013, will help the school keep pace with its rivals, said dean Sharon Oster.
(blah blah blah...)
New buildings mean more office space for faculty and more classrooms for profitable executive education programmes. Larger schools can also enrol more students, who pay as much as US$80,000 per year in tuition, room and board and other expenses.
(blah blah blah...)
The high cost of attendance contributes to students' rising expectations - and the growing size and complexity of the new facilities, said Jonathan Levav, an associate professor at Columbia. Two years at Columbia Business School costs an estimated US$168,307 for tuition, room and board and other expenses.
'Graduates of business and law schools are often the wealthiest alumni. It is easy to raise the funds to build buildings from donors to those schools.'
- Cornell University professor Ronald Ehrenberg

So what is Ivy League?
The Ivy League is an athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. The term is most commonly used to refer to those eight schools considered as a group. The eight institutions are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University.
The term also has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism
The use of the phrase is no longer limited to athletics, and now represents an educational philosophy inherent to the nation's oldest schools. In addition, Ivy League schools are often viewed by the public as some of the most prestigious universities worldwide and are often ranked amongst the best universities in the United States and worldwide.
Ivy League university financial endowments range from Brown's $2.01 billion to Harvard's $26 billion, the largest financial endowment of any academic institution in the world.
