The Chao Center is a building at the Harvard Business School on the campus of Harvard University in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.

Overview

The building was named in honor of Ruth Mulan Chu Chao.[1] Its construction was completed in 2016.[2]

"The building will be constructed in part with a $40-million gift from the Dr. James Si-Cheng Chao and Family Foundation.[2] The Chao family, which honors its matriarch with the donation, made its gift in 2012. They also established the Ruth Mulan Chu and James S. C. Chao Family Fellowship to assist students with financial needs. About 10,000 executives attend programs at HBS annually, and the Chao Center will become a gateway for these students. The family itself includes an impressive share of HBS students, as the first to count four daughters as alumnae: the Honorable Elaine Chao, M.B.A. ’79, Secretary of Labor under George W. Bush; Grace Chao, M.B.A. ’78; May Chao, M.B.A. ’85; and Angela Chao ’95, M.B.A. ’01." [3]

According to the HBS website, the building "is considered the main student center for Executive Education.".[2]
