UConn officially returns to Hartford with a grand opening ceremony and tours of its new downtown campus on Wednesday.
On Tuesday night, UConn Hartford will light up its new campus sign for the first time.
The campus, which was moved from West Hartford, consists of the renovated and expanded historic former Hartford Times building at 10 Prospect St.; classroom and office space at nearby 38 Prospect St.; and shared space in the Hartford Public Library.
More than 3,300 students are enrolled this fall at UConn Hartford, which will also be home to more than 200 full and part-time faculty and staff.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, UConn President Susan Herbst, Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin, UConn Hartford students, lawmakers and local officials will participate in the opening celebration at 10:30 a.m. at 10 Prospect St.
