Encyclopedia : K : KE : KEN : Kenan-Flagler Business School

The Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill serves the community as a world-renowned business education institution.

History

Established in 1919 as the Department of Commerce of UNC Chapel Hill's College of Arts, the School was renamed the Kenan-Flagler Business School in 1991 to honor two prominent American business families and benefactors of the School: philanthropist Mary Lily Kenan Flagler and her husband, Henry Morrison Flagler. The renaming was in recognition of a gift from Frank Hawkins Kenan, another Kenan family member and benefactor of the School's Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise.

In 1997, the McColl Building opened at Kenan-Flagler to complete today's campus. With 191,000 square-feet, Hugh McColl's namesake has more than tripled the space that the school occupied at Carroll Hall.
