The Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building

It’s alright. Y’know, it’s okay.
I only ever had one class here but I’ve been to a ton of events in this space. And it’s a great venue. I’ve been to academic conferences that make use of the large classrooms with the open common space. It’s great for that. The little café is good (not great) but it must have a hard time competing with the student union building and the Second Cup next door.
The building is new which means it’s pretty high tech. I find the layout can be a bit awkward at times. For example, if the bathrooms on the main floor are out of service (e.g. being cleaned), the next available bathrooms are up a long flight of stairs (or a slow elevator ride) and across the width of the building. Not much you can do about that now, of course.
The temperature control is better than a lot of the older buildings on campus so that’s always a plus.

This building is pretty slick and Wall Street chic. It was completed in the Fall of 2005 and stands as one of the newest buildings on the Dalhousie University campus.
I’ve written exams in a couple of the rooms on the main level. I’ve also crept into the higher echelons for an interview and poked around some of the foyer areas. The classrooms are pretty stream lined, with tiered seating and modern tech systems. The building is kept impeccably tidy, and the bathrooms are not exempt from this high standard of cleanliness.
On the main level toward the back, there’s an area to read and hang out, as well as a small café located just off of the main entrance. This building is fancy and probably attracts new students to the program based on the impressive nature of the space.
