Edward P. Evans Hall
Edward P. Evans Hall
Evans Hall is where perspectives meet and Yale SOM’s mission comes to life every day. Designed around the sunny Shen Courtyard, the campus brings together classrooms, academic centers, and student spaces in one connected environment.
Classrooms
One of the Yale MBA’s most distinctive features is its integrated core curriculum in the first year, followed by the flexibility to take electives across Yale in the second year. In Evans Hall, classrooms are designed to match that experience—from auditoriums that accommodate your 80-person cohort to smaller, discussion-driven spaces for electives.
Shen Courtyard
At the center of Evans Hall is the enclosed Shen Courtyard, which is the heart of the school. Many school-wide events are held on the lawn, including a welcome barbecue at Orientation and the diploma ceremony at Commencement.
Zhang Auditorium
Zhang is home to some of Yale’s biggest events. The largest venue in Evans Hall, this auditorium hosts global CEOs, Nobel Prize winners, NGO presidents, and top government leaders from all across the world.
Dining: Charley's Place & McNay Cafe
You don’t have to leave Evans Hall to eat well. Charley’s Place offers fresh, affordable lunches during the week, while McNay Café is there for coffee, snacks, and a quick break between classes.
Honest Tea Suite: Entrepreneurship
SOM’s Program on Entrepreneurship is housed in the Honest Tea Entrepreneurship Suite. Known by students as ‘the bunker,’ the suite is a space to build, collaborate, and connect. Whether you’re starting a venture now, exploring ideas for later, or simply thinking more entrepreneurially, you’ll find support here.
