Our Campus is Connecticut

In addition to the main campus in Storrs, the University of Connecticut has a number of other campuses and schools around the state, which truly makes the state into the campus. The UConn Health Center and John Dempsey Hospital is located in Farmington, just west of Hartford.

Bioscience Connecticut is a forward- thinking plan to create thousands of construction and related jobs in the short-term and generate long-term, sustainable economic growth based on bioscience research, innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialization. It is a multifaceted plan that also includes initiatives to improve access to healthcare services in the region and beyond.
