[edit] History
Established in 1919 as the Department of Commerce of UNC's College of Arts, the School was renamed the Kenan-Flagler Business School in 1991 to honor two prominent American business families and benefactors of the School: philanthropist Mary Lily Kenan Flagler and her husband, Henry Morrison Flagler. The renaming was in recognition of a gift from Frank Hawkins Kenan, another Kenan family member and benefactor of the school's Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise.
In 1997, the McColl Building opened at Kenan-Flagler to complete today's campus. With 191,000 square-feet, Hugh McColl's namesake has more than tripled the space that the school occupied at Carroll Hall.
