More recently, the café was part of the discussion of building student housing for the Hartford campus, now planned for a portion of the 242 Trumbull St. office complex off Pratt Street. The $28 million project calls for the creation of 50 suites for up to 200 students. The housing is expected to be ready by the fall semester of 2026.<- -> UConn students will be able to use their meal plans at the new Hartford campus café as will university employees who purchase the community meal plan. Construction is expected to begin in March, with an opening anticipated to coincide with the fall semester of 2025.<- [/QUOTE]
