Amazing Fa c i l i t i e s
AMAZING FACILITIES A Campus for the 21st Century • UConn continues to renew, rebuild and enhance our campuses through an unprecedented $2.8 billion, 20-year investment in the University’s infrastructure. UCONN 2000 has been the most ambitious publicly financed university building program in the country. • Now in its 16th year, UCONN 2000 has invigorated the University’s living and learning environments, helped advance faculty research, and stimulated public and private investment. This investment revitalizes the state’s future by providing the means for the University to attract high-achieving students, prestigious faculty, and funding from public grants and private donors. The multibillion dollar facelift has facilitated UConn’s ascent to national prominence among public research universities. • Applications continue to be on the rise with over 28,000 applicants competing for 3,285 seats at the main campus in Storrs and 1,250 seats at the regional campuses. • For the sixth consecutive year, more than half of the applicants are out-ofstate students, comprising 35 percent of the incoming class.
