STEINBERG-DIETRICH HALL

Dietrich Hall, opened in 1952, was one of the first buildings erected on campus after World War II and the first built exclusively for The Wharton School. In 1983, the adjacent Steinberg Hall was added. Serving as the center for the School’s administration, it also houses several academic department offices, classrooms, conference rooms, Joe’s Café, and two newly renovated lecture halls with audiovisual technology.

LAUDER HALL

Lauder Hall is home to the Joseph H. Lauder Institute for Management and International Studies. It also features offices, common spaces, and classrooms used by students in the Wharton/Lauder joint MBA/MA program for international business.

DINAN HALL
