New Building Links YSU to Downtown Y-Town

It began with the largest gift in Youngstown State University history. In 2006, the family of the late Warren P. Williamson Jr., founder of Youngstown’s WKBN Broadcasting Corp. announced its intent to contribute $5 million to the construction of the new Williamson College of Business Administration building. This $34.3 million project located at the south end of the YSU campus is slated to begin construction this month. According to an article in a recent Youngstown State University Alumni Magazine, this new facility is considered the centerpiece of YSU’s Centennial Master Plan.
