University of Hartford President Greg Woodward thinks UHart isn’t always seen with the prestige he said it deserves, but he’s been in overdrive to change that.
Since Woodward became president in 2017, he’s initiated plans to build a new $58-million, 62,000-square-foot academic building that will provide a state-of-the-art facility for two of the private college’s most in-demand and growing majors: engineering and nursing.
Those construction plans came after the university opened its $5-million Barney School of Business expansion last summer. That project renovated 1,300 square feet and added 10,000 square feet in the school’s Auerbach Hall.
Coronavirus has disrupted UHart like all local colleges. Woodward was forced to close his campus in March, cancel in-person classes and implement virtual learning for the rest of the spring semester.
