A New Chapter Begins: University Budget Office Relocates to Harbourt Hall

After decades of calling the Schwartz Center home, the University Budget Office has officially relocated to Harbourt Hall—marking a bold new chapter in its commitment to collaboration, transparency, and innovation.

The move isn’t just about a change of address. Harbourt Hall’s refreshed layout offers a brighter, more open environment designed to foster cross-functional teamwork and streamline financial operations. Nestled just across from the Kent State Ice Arena, the new space features modernized workstations, improved accessibility, and a welcoming common area that reflects the office’s people-first approach to budgeting and analysis.

The relocation marks more than a change in location—it reflects the University Budget Office’s evolving role in advancing the university’s strategic priorities. The new space is designed to better embody the energy, purpose, and collaborative spirit that define UBO’s work.

Visitors can now find the University Budget Office just past the main entrance and up the short staircase to the left. Whether you're a longtime partner or a first-time visitor, Harbourt Hall is ready to welcome you.
