An Academic Center for the Innovation Age

We are at the dawn of an age of innovation marked by artificial intelligence, unthinkable amounts of data, and the melding of the physical and digital worlds through virtual and augmented reality. Bentley University is reimagining the Adamian Academic Center as a hub of knowledge creation and collaboration, where the university's various academic centers across diverse areas of study will be housed in a single, interactive space that benefits all students and faculty.

The new Adamian Center plays a key role in realizing our vision to fuel technology, innovation and entrepreneurial excellence at Bentley. The center will feature immersive technology labs and collaborative learning spaces to ensure our students are prepared to lead and thrive in the global 21st century marketplace. Faculty will be able to collaborate easily with colleagues in other fields, emphasizing the combination of business and arts and sciences that sets Bentley apart. Corporate partners will be able to come to campus and brainstorm with classes about how to bring their products to market.

Technology and innovation are at the core of what Bentley does. Through improvements and updates to the building’s footprint and usage, the Adamian Center will become a destination for knowledge, innovation and collaboration to empower our students and faculty for decades to come. The center will open to the community in fall 2027.
