Spencer Hall, the Dolce International-managed learning center in London, Ontario where the courses are conducted, also received distinctions in both accommodations and cuisine, with a sixth place ranking in the world. 

Results were compiled from two questionnaires distributed to nearly 7,000 executive education course participants, corporate purchasers and business schools internationally. It is the second such distinction for the Ivey School of Business from the Financial Times this year. In January, the Ivey MBA program was ranked 19th internationally and was the only Canadian institution to make the list. 

Said Spencer Hall General Manager Lori DaSilva, �The goal of our team is to provide a distraction free environment conducive to adult learning. In that vein, we completed the renovation of half our guestrooms last spring. We take great pride in the fact that our accommodations and cuisine are in keeping with the high-quality education provided by the University of Western Ontario�s Richard Ivey School of Business.�
