WHY THIS MATTERS:

The new Thunderbird School of Global Management facilities at Arizona State University is being heralded as  the "most technologically advanced building of any leadership, management or business school in the world," sporting a wide array of high-tech features, including a virtual reality studio and a ceiling-mounted digital glove.
