PAYETTE evaluated the space needs for academic program growth in the Colleges of Engineering and Health Professions on the University of Hartford’s 350-acre campus, resulting in three implementation projects: a new 67,000 GSF academic building, a 4,000 GSF engineering high bay addition, and a phased renovation of selected areas within the University’s science complex. The new building supports specialized instructional and assessment laboratories for nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, exercise science, athletic training and prosthetics and orthotics. Sited in the middle of the iconic Main Academic Green, the building’s large roof is low, slightly sloped and planted, suggesting a continuation of the campus landscape.
