UConn Opens New Downtown Hartford Campus
August 23, 2017 - Stephanie Reitz - UConn Communication
Construction included the addition of a new attached five-story building at the Hartford Times, while retaining the iconic Beaux-Arts facade of the 1920 structure.
In keeping with the neighborhood campus concept, the building has an exterior courtyard open daily to the public; and retail stores are expected to open at street level to enliven the streets and encourage public visits.
The Hartford Times operated in the building for more than 50 years from its original construction through 1976, when the newspaper ceased publication. In that time, it hosted visits from four U.S. Presidents – Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson – and was a landmark for the community, even during the years when it sat unused.
“On the walls on either side of this portico,” Herbst told the crowd Wednesday, “there are four words written, dating to the opening of the building in 1920: Insight, inspiration, delight, and pride. They will remain there because they also perfectly capture what this beautiful new campus will be now for our students, our faculty and staff, for the city, and the state.”
The new campus comprises about 160,000 square feet in the Times anchor building; a nearby 34,500-square-foot building that UConn purchased at 38 Prospect St. to house the School of Social Work; and about 19,200 square feet in the Hartford Public Library in partnership with that organization.
In all, the campus includes more than 232,000 square feet of learning and community space, not counting the additional space that UConn already uses nearby for its Graduate Business Learning Center.
UConn Hartford will also be a hub of research, with many of its faculty using the campus as home base for intellectual exploration and collaborations with researchers across all UConn locations.
The Times building includes 23 classrooms, staff and faculty offices, three state-of-the-art computer labs, five science teaching labs, a collaboration space where students and faculty can work on ideas in an informal environment, study areas, conference rooms and meeting spaces, and the atrium.
We’re here are looking for real fur. Can’t say I found any but we went to watch the women’s UCONN soccer team and they have their own beer!!! Features the mascot Husky adorned with its fur so I’m counting this!

Processing: Five-frame HDR, 1 stop per frame. Photomatix Pro for the HDR processing -- I use fairly conservative settings in Tone Mapping (but didn't save them!). I find that Photomatix does damage to skies... so I spliced the original sky back into the final via a layer in Photoshop. I always adjust Levels and Curves in Photoshop, and so did that here. Oh -- and I did some lens correction to ensure the straight line at the intersection of the glass walls on the right.
