Storrs Center

Mansfield, CT

Vibrant, walkable, sustainable. A gathering place for residents, the university community, and neighbors from the surrounding region, Storrs Center is a mixed-use village at the crossroads of picturesque Mansfield, Connecticut and the University of Connecticut campus. Based on LEED guidelines this 45-acre “green” project includes 1,000,000 SF of new building construction and creates an inviting Main Street experience featuring a mix of restaurants, cafés, retail shops, a town green, office space, housing and open space. Our work on the master plan development, as well as serving as the architect and engineer of record, is an example of BL’s integrated capabilities. The preparation of municipal development plan documents, building design, local, state and federal permitting, plaza and park design, underground stormwater management design, traffic analysis, roadway and streetscape improvement design was all a part of the scope. A State Traffic Commission (STC) application as a major traffic generator was obtained.
