Learn, convene and be inspired

Our flagship building is purposefully designed to build community and empower a new era of business leaders.

Located on the Evanston campus along the shores of Lake Michigan, the Global Hub is Kellogg’s five-story, 415,000-square foot flagship building and is physical embodiment of our unique culture and spirit. This flexible and multifaceted building features a variety of signature classroom and convening spaces to inspire innovative forms of learning and interacting with others in the Kellogg community.

Toronto-based architectural firm KPMB Architects designed the Global Hub with the practicality to meet the needs of today’s learning environment and to anticipate those of tomorrow. Gordon Segal ’60, chair of the educational properties committee for Northwestern’s Board of Trustees, a Kellogg graduate and co-founder of Crate & Barrel, also played a leading role in the design and development of the building. The result is a space that is visually stunning, highly functional and environmentally friendly, earning the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification for its low carbon footprint.

Join us on campus and experience life at the Kellogg Global Hub for yourself.

Acknowledgement of land and people
