Project Description:
The proposed project is comprised of two actions, the consolidation of the Three Rivers Community College (TRCC) and the relocation of the Norwich Regional Vocational Technical School (NRVTS) in Norwich, Connecticut. Currently, the TRCC is comprised of two separate campuses located in Norwich -- the Mohegan Campus and the Thames Valley Campus. Part of the proposed project would be to relocate all of the TRCC to the Thames Valley Campus. The other part of the proposed project would be to relocate all of the NRVTS from the Thames Valley Campus to the Mohegan Campus.
The existing 42-acre Mohegan Campus site is situated south of Ox Hill Road, west of Mahan Drive, east of Harland Road, and abuts the Thomas Kelly Junior High School to the south.
The existing Thames Valley Campus is situated on approximately 156-acres of state-owned property. In addition to the TRCC, this property also contains the NRVTS and the Uncas on the Thames Hospital. Approximately 53 acres of the total site could be affected by this proposed action.
New development and site improvements are proposed to meet the programmatic needs of both the TRCC and the NRVTS at their respective locations.
The Board of Trustees of Community-Technical Colleges is considered the CEPA Sponsoring Agency and the Department of Education, along with the Department of Public Works, are considered the CEPA Participating Agencies for this CEPA project.
