Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) announced that it will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new School of Business building on Sept. 15 at 10:00 a.m.
According to SCSU, the four-story, 60,000-square-foot net-zero energy structure in New Haven will “provide a launching pad for expanding the school”™s offerings and developing new partnerships with the business community.” The new building includes nine general classrooms, as well as several specialized classrooms and lecture halls, a behavioral lab area with an observation room, a community room that can seat 100 people and an area designated for financial market and data analytics.
The opening ceremony will feature a keynote address and performance headlined Jeffrey “Skunk” Baxter, a consultant/contractor for U.S. military and civilian government agencies and a music legend who was a founding member of the group Steely Dan and a Grammy-winning guitarist with the Doobie Brothers.
“Our new School of Business building serves as an edifice of learning, scholarship, and innovation,” said Dean Jess Boronico. “We nurture leaders for the future and embrace the wealth of collaborative learning spaces in the building that will facilitate and encourage this initiative.”
