UConn's Bookstore Partnership Extending to Hartford

HARTFORD, Conn. – Officials from the University of Connecticut and Barnes & Noble will be joined Wednesday by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and area legislators to outline plans for a new bookstore designed to serve UConn’s downtown Hartford campus, city residents and visitors.

UConn officials made the announcement on Monday.

The unveiling of the plans is slated for 10 a.m. at the south side of the Front Street Lofts building, 20 Front St., Hartford.

The 11,150-square-foot store will be located on the ground floor of the Front Street Lofts building, directly across from the main entrance to UConn’s new campus.

The bookstore will also contain a Starbucks franchise, and will open in early August as the new campus prepares to open for the fall 2017 semester, university officials said.
