Simon Hallett and Professor Richard Davies
The 麻豆传媒 formally reopened its refurbished Fitzroy Building today.
The 拢14.5 million development is the new home of 麻豆传媒 Business School (PBS), and guest of honour was 麻豆传媒 Argyle FC鈥檚 owner and chairman, Simon Hallett who said:
"It鈥檚 fantastic to see the 麻豆传媒 investing in the next generation of business leaders.
鈥溌槎勾 Business School鈥檚 move to the city centre campus is an exciting step forward, reinforcing its role in developing talent that will contribute to the local economy and beyond.
鈥淎s a club, we recognise the importance of strong partnerships, and we look forward to working more closely with the University to create meaningful opportunities for students and the wider community.鈥
The transformed Fitzroy Building includes specialist teaching facilities and social learning spaces for students on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, including those in business and management, accounting and finance, and marketing.
It is also home to The Cube, the University鈥檚 acclaimed enterprise support service, which has supported over 4,400 student interactions and generated 230 businesses over the past three years.

Having scored the goal of bringing PBS to the heart of our campus, you could say that our Business School is now in a league of its own.

We are hugely grateful to successful businessman and proud Plymothian, Simon Hallett for formally opening the school. Our University and the football club are important components of a vibrant city and we are delighted to be renewing our friendship.
