What was there before? West Campus and the grad apartments?
Aka "Tokyo Towers". ??West Campus is still where it always was. Gone is Connecticut Commons, which used to be the Grad dorms in the 70's and 80's. I spent three years in Norwalk dorm as a grad student, and now that is gone.

Are you a citizen? LMFAO
A casino would be good.Does anyone have any idea what they plan to do with the old rec center and fieldhouse once this is complete? It's prime real estate on campus and I know the master plan wanted Hillside in that area to be a student focused corridor (with the Union across the street).
I was pretty impressed with this when I was there with my daughter for admitted students day in April. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress first-hand when I drop her off for orientation on Monday. I'm glad she'll be able to enjoy the benefits of it.
Here's a link which contains the floor plan. The place is no joke.

June 8th video update,They're really banking on shiplap never going out of style.
When I was a student in the 70's, all we had was some cardboard boxes to play in.
You had mud? We dreamed of having mud....I was at UConn in the late 70's into the 80's. You had cardboard boxes? All we had to play in was mud, and lots of it. UConn seemed to be one big mud pit at the time.

I don't remember it being all that bad to tell you the truth.Not if you were at UConn in the early 1980's. There was more than enough mud to go around in that time period. The object of many a walk across campus was not to sink into the stuff.
Without commenting on your willingness to tell the truth @CL82, wouldn't you have needed to leave your dorm for any classes to know about the campus' excessive early 80s?I don't remember it being all that bad to tell you the truth.
