Essential to the future of Thunderbird is a new facility that serves as a global headquarters that connects us to the rest of the world. Our new state-of-the-art facility will enable Thunderbird students to connect with the world and experience in real time that which they seek to learn and study. We will unlock all that technology has to offer within our formal learning environments with truly active and multi-dimensional learning spaces that fully immerse our students in their discipline. Visiting leaders will present in our Global Forum where their visits can become virtually accessible on a global scale. Our Innovation Center will serve as a hub of experiential activity for our students, complete with a global situation room and virtual reality suites to prepare students for their fieldwork. The Center will host immersive language technologies, the cutting edge in language acquisition, as Thunderbird fully reinstates language education in its programs, while embracing new learning paradigms. A walk through the new Thunderbird headquarters will be a journey through the history of our School. Beginning with a look to the future in the atrium and Global Forum, a new Thunderbird Globe will greet visitors, students, and alumni with realtime exploration of our global Thunderbird community. The Globe will connect with our 45,000 alumni and students through social media interaction, with activity and locations being constantly updated and represented on this technology-enabled globe. Each of the five floors of the building feature regional lounges, celebrating our heritage around the world. Historical kiosks throughout each floor remind all of Thunderbird’s journey over its history. Finally, on the roof level, the Thunderbird Pub will evoke the ethos of 1946 and the Founding of Thunderbird. The Pub’s design will capture the spirit of the original Glendale campus, while looking forward to the future of Thunderbird, showcasing the modern skyline of downtown Phoenix, and the symbol of Thunderbird lit from the roof into the Arizona night sky.
We have a unique opportunity to honor the tremendous past and legacy of Thunderbird while setting our sights to the future. Our vision is to build a global village in the heart of Phoenix where we can show the world how to be truly global citizens, building a generation of leaders for the fourth industrial revolution.
