Stamford's Downtown Architecture: The Atrium at UConn

The View of the Central Atrium at UConn Stamford

When in downtown Stamford, a visit to the University of Connecticut campus is a must because of the airy and spacious atrium that is at the core of the building. Once home to Bloomingdales that closed in 1990, the current building was erected in 1998 after extensive renovations and affords the visitor a wonderful opportunity to experience the midday sun streaming in the windows and enjoy a lunch from the student cafe on the ground floor.

In the following video, you will experience the feeling of openness, friendliness and connection to the downtown that makes this space so unique. It's a great place for the students to pursue their studies and for the visitor to enjoy a lunch and take in one of the many art shows that are free to the public. Inexpensive parking at $1 for 2 hours is available at Target across the street.
