The Hyde Hall Transformation
A Regional Hub for Collaboration Across Industries
A Modern Environment for Renowned Faculty and Award-Winning Programs
Entrepreneurial Opportunities for Student Success
Enhanced Alumni Networks and Outcomes
Plymouth State is embarking on a $40 million renovation to Hyde Hall, home of the School of Business, to modernize building systems and reconfigure classrooms and student engagement spaces. The State and University System of New Hampshire have allocated $30 million to the project. A campaign goal of $8 million will support advanced technology common to industry and leading business schools.
"The renovated facility with state-of-the-industry technology will elevate PSU’s programs. Students will have a better sense of what the business world is like, and they will interact and present better with prospective employers. It’s also going to extend the University’s handshake to local and regional businesses and do a better job of drawing them in."
Andrew White ’09MBA, president of Comptus, a leading producer of wind and industrial environmental sensors, transmitters, and controls based in Campton, NH
"Ideas come from the environment that you’re in and the people you’re surrounded by. It’s important to have the spaces that drive creativity and help students do their best. Working in a state-of-the-art facility gives you more confidence, knowing that you’re at the level of the ‘Googles of the world’. It’ll put Plymouth State on a higher playing field."
Angela Watts ’05, co-owner of Fun Brands LLC with Mark Cuban and Ashton Kutcher
"There are very few successful businesspeople who aren’t surrounded by teams. Business is all about working with people, and Hyde Hall has a purpose beyond the classroom. Hyde should draw students in, so they’ll want to come there on a Saturday or Wednesday evening to work on projects with other students or business partners."
Larry Haynes ’86, president and CEO of the Grappone Automotive Group, and a first-generation college graduate
