What's Inside Sets Us Apart
The Harrison Libraries Expansion and Renovation Project began in May 2016, and was completed in May 2017. The project brings the physical space, technology, and infrastructure of the Harrison Libraries in line with our evolving understanding of teaching and learning, benefiting the University’s community of learners, scholars, creators, and supporters.
On November 21, 2016, the University of Hartford announced that, thanks to the generosity of a group of anonymous donors in the form of a multimillion-dollar gift, the libraries was to be named Harrison Libraries in honor of University President Walter Harrison, who retired in June 2017 after 19 years leading the University. The exceptional gift contributes to the expansion and renovation project currently underway on campus and to future funding for the libraries.
The gallery below shows the vision for the project and its progress, and includes a video of the end result.
