New Year's Day, 2003 marked the Economics Department's relocation from Carney Hall to a new home on the fourth floor of the Administration Building on the lower campus of Boston College. This building, located just below O'Neill Library, is connected to the middle campus by a stone arch bridge to the Library atrium. For the first time in its history, all department faculty, staff, and graduate students are located in adjacent quarters, with ample space to support the department's mission of research and teaching.
Other academic departments joining Economics in the Administration Building are History, with whom we share the fourth floor, and Communication, on the fifth floor. At the end of the academic year, our former neighbors Philosophy and Theology will relocate to the third floor. The first floor of the new 155,000-square-foot structure contains the Hillside Cafe, BC Dining Services' latest venture, as well the Hillside Shop--a branch of the BC Bookstore--and the BC Campus Police. We invite you to stop by and tour our new departmental home!
