Chicago Booth’s new London campus will serve as a hub for the entire Booth community
The University of Chicago Booth School of Business has opened the doors to its new campus at One Bartholomew Close near St. Paul’s in central London. The March 28 grand opening brought together faculty, alumni and business leaders for an evening of speeches and panel discussions to celebrate the school’s commitment to global leadership and investment in the London community.
Chicago Booth, the only US business school with a campus in London, will continue to offer its Executive MBA Europe Program and courses, conferences and seminars for undergraduate executives. The new campus replaces Chicago Booth’s former London location at 25 Basinghall Street and will be the school’s base of operations in the EMEA region.
With a total area of 43,000 square feet, the Chicago Booth London Conference Center offers a superb venue for events and education in one of the world’s leading centers for banking, finance and technology. This dynamic meeting and events destination is available for hire for business and public purposes.
“The opening of Booth’s new campus in London demonstrates Booth’s commitment to global leadership, nurturing the next generation of changemakers and investing in the future of business,” said Madhav Rajan, Dean of Booth School of Business. “We are excited to expand our operations in London and expand the School’s influence and reach across EMEA. Ultimately, the campus is a hub for the broader Booth community – a place where we bring everything we do across Europe, the Middle East and Africa together, more broadly, and all anchored in this spectacular new, state-of-the-art campus .”

Nicolae and Luu were selected from a pool of over 1,800 applicants for their potential to make significant contributions to the United States. They will each receive up to $90,000 in support of their graduate studies. They join 10 other Harvard students who are also being honored.
Luu will pursue an MS/MBA in Engineering, a joint program from HBS and the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering & Applied Sciences (SEAS).
“What really excited me was being able to interact with the other interviewees, judges and fellowship program people during the interview process,” said Luu. “One of my fondest memories was the virtual waiting room before the interview started. Although we all competed, we all participated in a mini meditation session that I led to relieve some stress before our interviews. I look forward to getting to know more scholarship holders.”
Nicolae is studying Business Administration at Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in a joint PhD program that combines the Harvard Economics PhD program with support from HBS. We caught up with her to learn more about her research, her time here at HBS, and her appointment as a Soros Fellow.
