18 months of construction, 1,700 jobs, and counting
Structural steel emerges from the ground where tomorrow's hospital tower will stand beside today's, marking another milestone in the UConn Health campus transformation under Bioscience Connecticut.
The UConn Health campus continues to be a hotbed of construction activity, as the projects to build the Bioscience Connecticut infrastructure progress on schedule and on budget.
Since the first groundbreaking 18 months ago, the projects have created nearly 1,700 construction jobs. Almost 80 percent of the contracts have been awarded to Connecticut companies.
