Rutgers' Board of Governors on April 15, 2010, approved the construction of a new facility for the Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick (RBS) on the Livingston Campus in Piscataway. It will be the centerpiece of the long-term plan to redevelop the Livingston Campus into a center for business and professional studies.

“Over the next several years, we anticipate that enrollment in the Rutgers Business School will increase from the current level of 1,900 students to 3,200 undergraduates,” said Rutgers President Richard L. McCormick.

The revitalization of the Livingston Campus already has begun with the recent opening of a renovated and expanded student center. In addition, construction has started on a new Livingston Dining Commons, and apartment-style residential housing for 1,500 students will be built on Livingston. The Dining Commons will be completed by fall 2011 and the new student housing will be ready for occupation by the fall 2012 semester.
