Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, Waterbury Mayor Neil M. O'Leary, and UConn President Susan Herbst will cut the ribbon Tuesday on the newly-renovated Rectory Building in downtown Waterbury.
UConn will rent three floors of the four-story building to use for classrooms and offices at a cost of $3 million over the next 20 years. The university also approved $2.5 million last year to cover the cost of fixtures needed to outfit the building for UConn's use.
The renovation of the historic structure cost just under $9 million, with $6 million provided by the city and the balance covered by a grant from the state Department of Economic Development.
Stephanie Reitz, spokeswoman for UConn, said classes will start in the new building on Jan. 19.
A Starbucks is expected to open on the first floor of the building in late 2016 or early 2017, Reitz said.
The building is located across the street from UConn's Waterbury campus on East Main Street where 800 students are enrolled.
