The Hough Graduate School of Business is the home to the graduate business programs of the Warrington College of Business at the University of Florida. All programs are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
The school is named after William R. HoughofSt. Petersburg, Fla. He was the founder of the investment firm bearing his name and is an alumnus of the College's first MBA class in 1948. Hough donated $30 million to the College in 2007, which was the largest private gift ever received by the University of Florida at that time.
The funds established an endowment to support teaching, academic programs and enhancements in the Hough Graduate School of Business and provided a lead gift to construct a new building to house the graduate business programs named after Mr. Hough himself. The gift is also eligible for matching funds from the State of Florida Major Gifts Trust Fund and from the Alec P. Courtelis Facilities Enhancement Challenge Grant Program, potentially increasing the total value of the gift to $50 million.

Named after alumnus William R. Hough, Hough Hall is a 70,000-square-foot facility that was completed in 2010 to serve as a home for all graduate programs. This state-of-the-art building provides 17 breakout rooms, two lounge areas, 400 lockers and showers. It's all focused on improving the student experience. The classrooms have modern instructional technology to fit our curriculum about the ever-changing business world.
The heart of Hough Hall is its open court. The glass curtain wall on the north end allows indirect light to permeate the entire building. It's strategically designed to create an interplay between the inside of the building and those who are outside. The inviting construction generates a welcoming atmosphere.
The facility also houses career development and counseling centers, academic program offices, and a recruitment suite, which works daily to bring some of the nation's top companies and recruiters to the Warrington campus.
