As construction associated with UConn2000, 21st Century UConn and Next Generation Connecticut (NGC) continues, a new website has been created by the Office of University Communications and the Office of Planning, Architectural & Engineering Services (PAES) to inform the campus community on the planning, design and construction associated with those initiatives, including maps that delineate where construction activity is likely to occur.
Please visit http://uconn.edu/construction for a sampling of signature projects currently under construction. You may also review detailed information on the locations and schedules for those projects by clicking on the links to the “Construction Activity Maps." These maps will be updated frequently as construction schedules may change.
Temporary impacts and permanent changes to our physical environment are inevitable with such significant improvements to our campus fabric. This may include alterations to our roads, walks, grounds, parking, transit routes and traffic patterns. PAES is working with Logistics Administration, Facilities Operations, and other departments and agencies to mitigate their cumulative effect upon our campus and the quality of daily life for our students, faculty, staff and guests.
About Next Generation Connecticut
Next Generation Connecticut (NGC) is an initiative to greatly expand educational opportunities, research, and innovation in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines at UCONN over the next decade.
NGC represents one of the most ambitious state investments in economic development, higher education and research in the nation. Its investments will transform UCONN into a top public research institution, fueling Connecticut’s economy with new technologies, training highly-skilled graduates, and creating new companies, patents, licenses, and high-wage jobs.
Major components of this ten-year plan include:
- Building research facilities to house materials science, physics, biology, engineering, cognitive science, genomics and related disciplines
- Constructing new teaching laboratories
- Upgrading aging infrastructure
