East Hartford’s Stone Academy is opening a West Haven campus, citing the business school’s growth and the need for more high-tech facilities, The Associated Press reports.
Stone will start closing its main campus in Hamden next month and transition about 400 students to a new site in West Haven, a former call center for General Electric Co.
Stone’s corporate admissions director says the new site’s updated technology will be valuable for the school’s medical training programs.
The school also has a campus in East Hartford with another in Waterbury. It expects to finish the move to West Haven in July.
Stone was a secretarial school during the 1970s and evolved in the 1990s into training for medical professions. Its roots date to 1864, when it was created as the United States Business School.
