SCSU to debut new School of Business building

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.”
