History




Strathmore Business School Campus, Madaraka


In 2005, Strathmore University entered into a partnership with IESE Business School, creating Strathmore Business School.[1]


The new business school started its first program on 11 January 2006 with Dr George Njenga as the dean, offering the Advanced Management Program.[2] Its MBA for Executives program was launched in 2007.


It operated from office space in the university's library, conducting classes in the conference facilities of hotels in Nairobi.[3]


In 2009, construction began at the site of a new campus, at which it started operating in 2012. The building was designed to have a very low carbon footprint, receiving an award, in 2012, for being the Best Green Building Development in Africa.[4][5]
