WESTLAKE, TEXAS — Deloitte will begin construction next year on a $300 million learning and leadership development center in Westlake.

The 750,000-square-foot campus will be situated on 107 acres outside the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The facility will serve as a central destination for all of Deloitte’s talent, from new hires to senior leadership to principals, partners and directors.

“As our industry evolves faster than ever before, Deloitte’s learning and leadership development center will enable our people to take the lead in shaping the future of our profession,” said Barry Salzberg, chief executive officer with Deloitte. “We expect this facility to become the heart of our organization — the place where we meet, learn and develop our next generation of leaders,” he said.

The facility will feature multiple conference spaces and classrooms that will house thought leadership events; events with professors from nationally recognized universities and colleges; and networking events. It will also feature dining venues, a ballroom, a business center, recreational facilities and a fitness center.

The project will be constructed according to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council.

The center is expected to open in 2011.
