    Enhanced Alumni Networks and Outcomes

Plymouth State has embarked on a $38 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.

Support the Hyde Hall Renovation Today

"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."

Angela Watts ’05, co-owner of Fun Brands LLC with Mark Cuban and Ashton Kutcher

"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."

Larry Haynes ’86, president and CEO of the Grappone Automotive Group, and a first-generation college graduate

"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."
