Ivey Business School, Business school in London, Ontario, Canada
The Ivey Business School is a business school in London, Ontario, that also maintains locations in Toronto and Hong Kong for executive programs. The main campus sits on the western edge of Western University and includes several modern buildings with lecture halls, small group workrooms, and a specialized business library.
The school began in 1922 as a faculty of business at Western University. A major donation from the Ivey family in 1995 enabled the expansion of the institution and led to its current name.
The institution honors Richard M. Ivey, a Canadian businessman and philanthropist from London, Ontario. Students work in groups on real case studies that reflect current management problems from companies around the world.
The buildings are accessible by footpaths from the main Western University campus and sit near parking areas and bus stops. Visitors can walk through public areas during weekday business hours and view the architecture and outdoor grounds.
Each day begins with a complete case study that students prepare overnight and then discuss together. The emphasis is on oral participation, so grades depend heavily on the ability to articulate arguments clearly in the classroom.
