Following the June 29 groundbreaking of the Storrs Center project, the Mansfield Downtown Partnership has provided an approximate timeline for actions anticipated over the next year. As always with construction projects, especially those that are unusually complex, the timeline is provisional.<\/p>\n

July 2011 <\/strong>
\nDemolition of former UConn Publications building, 13 Dog Lane (former Select Physical Therapy Building), and 14 Dog Lane (former home of UConn\u2019s Nayden Health Clinic).\u00a0 These operations are now located in other facilities. (This has already taken place.)<\/p>\n

Construction begins on the north side of Dog Lane, with the first foundation at the corner of Dog Lane and Storrs Road (Route 195). The building under construction, scheduled to open in August 2012, will include about 27,000 square feet of commercial space that will house some current businesses and some new enterprises, and 127 market-rate apartments.<\/p>\n

July-August 2011<\/strong>
\nAdditional parking is being built by the developer on the lot for the Bishop Center, so that parking will be available closer to the new facilities. This is scheduled for completion before the students move into Buckley and Shippee residence halls in August.<\/p>\n

Late summer 2011<\/strong>
\nConstruction begins on a new parking garage, to open by August 2012.<\/p>\n

Fall 2011<\/strong>
\nConstruction begins on \u201cVillage Street,\u201d an interior street in Storrs Center that will parallel Storrs Road.<\/p>\n

Streetscape improvements on Storrs Road and Dog Lane, to be completed in spring 2012.<\/p>\n

February 2012<\/strong>
\nConstruction begins on the \u201cintermodal\u201d transportation center adjacent to the parking garage. This will be designed to accommodate bus, auto, bicycle, and other modes of transportation.<\/p>\n

Spring 2012<\/strong>
\nTedeschi\u2019s and Storrs Automotive buildings will be demolished. Storrs Automotive will move into the facilities currently being constructed.<\/p>\n

Construction begins on approximately 42,000 square feet of additional commercial space and 160 apartments. This is scheduled to open in fall 2013.<\/p>\n
