The university last week announced that it would move the West Hartford campus to downtown Hartford within a year, but it didn?t name a location. The university said it was still evaluating sites.
The agenda for Thursday?s UConn Board of Trustees meeting specifically included the address of the education center ? 200 Constitution Plaza ? in a request for $243,524 in funding to hire JCJ Architecture PC.
Late Thursday, Lawrence McHugh, the board?s chairman, said in a statement: ?The university is examining multiple properties in the course of its due diligence and the board approved this funding to give them the resources to do so.?
A call to the JCJ wasn?t returned Thursday. The former education center is vacant and has been on the market for lease, following a foreclosure.
The education center is among three downtown Hartford sites seen as potential locations for the school. The others are Connecticut River Plaza and One Talcott Plaza.
