Located on the Queen’s University campus, Goodes Hall is home to Queen’s School of Business. The centrepiece of the facility is a 110-year-old Victorian school house. An extensive $25 million renovation completed in 2002 transformed the site into an impressive 110,000-square-foot interactive learning centre for management education.
