Municipalities where project is proposed: Windham (Willimantic) and Mansfield

Address of Possible Project Location: 83 Windham Street, Windham, CT (see Project Location figures)

Project Description:  The Eastern Connecticut State University Campus Master Plan is part of an update to the master plan first prepared in 1992 and revised in 1997.  The Plan is a baseline for future campus development and funding requests to the Board of Regents.  The Plan update for Eastern is a guide for incremental growth that responds to stated needs, planned expansions, and changes in facilities needs.  Eastern is comprised two campuses: the Main Campus, located south of Route 6; and the Mansfield Campus which consists of athletic facilities, located north of the Route 6 within walking distance of the main campus.

The Plan is a ten-year comprehensive physical development plan to enhance the academic, residential, and community life of the campus.  It identifies new building and renovation projects that should be made by the target year 2017; with the understanding that all projects may not be accomplished over the ten-year period. 

The full Plan can be viewed online here: https://www.ct.gov/dcs/cwp/view.asp?a=4224&Q=520014&PM=1
