Since 1969 Boyd has served as the home of the natural sciences at Plymouth State College.  In  spring 2002, an exciting makeover of Boyd Hall began.  That state of New Hampshire committed 16 million dollars for the renovation of the existing structure, as well as an expansion that will increase the overall size of the Science Center by 40 percent.  The result is a state-of-the-art science facility housing biotechnology and other science disciplines.   The biotechnology laboratory facilities, furnished with sophisticated cutting-edge equipment, includes a modern teaching laboratory, a laboratory dedicated to sudent research in biotechnology, a biotechnology preparation room, a sterile room, a tissue culture room and an instrument room.  All laboratories are equipped for computer use and internet access.  In the laboratories, students engage in a  variety of sophisticated hands-on research projects mentored by professors dedicated to student success.  A low student to faculty ratio, with faculty focused on undergraduate education, serves to provide a friendly supportive academic environment.
