First floor of Bisgrove Hall will undergo transformational renovation
51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ announced that construction will begin on the Scott Bieler Institute for Ethical Leadership and Innovation, spearheaded by a generous gift from Scott and Kathy Bieler and the Scott Bieler Family Foundation. Bieler, president & CEO of the West Herr Automotive Group, is known throughout Western New York as a local philanthropist. The gift will support the transformation of the first floor of the university’s Bisgrove Hall into a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to advancing ethical leadership and innovation.
The Scott Bieler Institute will create opportunities for students from colleges across the university, facilitating cross-disciplinary learning. Key features include a collaboration hub with a flexible technology-enabled space for teamwork and innovation; a classroom of the future, where students will be immersed in real-world ethical scenarios that simulate complex decision-making environments through the use of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI); and a high-tech computer lab with financial trading terminals and industry-standard business software.
